Dear VMD wizards,

I would like to know what kind of charged states psfgen would generate
from a standard pdb structure.
Do I have to worry about adding charges at all?
Also, when I read the psfgen user guide, it said psfgen will
patch N-terminal and C-terminal atoms. What does "patch" means? Do these
termini carry charges?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Margaret S. Cheung,
Ph. D. Postdoctoral Fellow,
