Dear all

I've used PyMol with the APBS plugin successfully with other structures
but now it's giving problems with a model structure (made with Rosetta
then SCWRL).

I set up the grid and then press run and the plug-in zips around the
structure making a pqr file.  However, I get an error message saying
that some atoms are unassigned and that I should either delete them and
restart the calculation or fix the parameters in the pqr file and use
the modified version directly.

Looking at the unassigned atoms, it seems to be standard protein - there
is no exotic cofactor causing trouble.  For example, here is one residue
as loaded into PyMol

ATOM   1191  N   TRP   157     -19.981  10.079  -4.038  1.00  0.00
ATOM   1192  CA  TRP   157     -21.189  10.376  -3.276  1.00  0.00
ATOM   1193  C   TRP   157     -20.891  11.323  -2.118  1.00  0.00
ATOM   1194  O   TRP   157     -21.507  11.233  -1.056  1.00  0.00
ATOM   1195  CB  TRP   157     -21.787   9.092  -2.697  1.00  0.00
ATOM   1196  CG  TRP   157     -20.856   8.356  -1.783  1.00  0.00
ATOM   1197  CD1 TRP   157     -19.931   7.417  -2.137  1.00  0.00
....

and here is the corresponding bit of the pqr file for one unassigned
residue

ATOM   2333  N   TRP   157     -19.981  10.079  -4.038   0.000   0.000
ATOM   2334  C   TRP   157     -21.189  10.376  -3.276   0.000   0.000
ATOM   2335  C   TRP   157     -20.891  11.323  -2.118   0.000   0.000
ATOM   2336  O   TRP   157     -21.507  11.233  -1.056   0.000   0.000
ATOM   2337  C   TRP   157     -21.787   9.092  -2.697   0.000   0.000
ATOM   2338  C   TRP   157     -20.856   8.356  -1.783   0.000   0.000
ATOM   2339  C   TRP   157     -19.931   7.417  -2.137   0.000   0.000

It doesn't seem to make any difference if I add hydrogen with PyMol
before trying to run the apbs plug-in.
It's not a particular residue type that's problematic - I see Val, Cys,
Glu, Thr, Phe etc also among the unassigned set.

Can anyone help?

Thanks very much

Daniel
