Re: Warning: Not all atoms have unique coordinates.

Hello,
When I tried to generate the psf for the L chain of CYC, there was a HETATM
segment for a residue called CYC. This residue was not in the topology file
I used top_all22_prot.inp. When I ran psfgen on this yes, there were
errors.

So I removed the HETATM entries from the PDB. When I ran PSF on this pdb
file, there were no errors. I did view the structure in VMD and it looked
fine.

So now I am wondering if the problem has to do with the fact that I removed
these HETATM entries? Can psf handle HETATM?? What should I in this case?
Is it ok to remove the HETATM for CYC residue? Or should the information for
this residue into the topology file? If so, where would I get information
about this residue??

thanks
shirley

(see second line of output below). This warning appears at each step in the
console when the energies are outputted.

my config file is wrong? I'm not really sure where to start to figure out
what is wrong...
