[phenixbb] Question about Adding Hydrogens

[Jeff Headd]

Hi Louis,

Hydrogen atoms in Phenix are added using the Reduce program, and one
of the real strengths of Reduce is that it determines H-atom positions
by optimizing the local H-bond network. By only adding hydrogens to
one residue, this step would be lost.

Is there a reason that you'd like to add H atoms to just one residue?

You can find out more about Reduce here:

Thanks,
Jeff
