Hi Kamil,

The "Selection" field uses "polymer & ..." by default, which excludes
ions. You can use a selection which includes ions instead, for example
"all", "not solvent", or something like "(polymer | name CAL) & ...".

Here an example that works for me:

fetch 1rx1
alter elem Ca, resn="CAL"
alter elem Ca, name="CAL"

In the APBS Electrostatics panel, use "(polymer | name CAL) & 1rx1" as
the selection and "--ff=CHARMM" as pdb2pqr command line option.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
  Thomas
