For that matter, different protonation states for things like ATP and
other triphosphates are another serious problem; we've created a couple
different versions for ATP/CTP/GTP/TTP/UTP (and will release them to the
user community once we're happy with them), but I'm always surprised so
few non-physiological charge states have been paramaterized.
Cheers,
