Hi,

You should have a look at the NAMD tutorial in order to understand what
psfgen is doing ( http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Training/Tutorials/ ). The extra
atoms are hydrogens, generally not present in crystal structures (see the
X-ray Crystallography box at
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Training/Tutorials/namd/namd-tutorial-unix-html/node6.html
)
