Hi Matt,

Thank you for response. I spend whole month to figure out the error and i
cant. I can work with all protein structures without any problem but when i
try to use coordinates input file for RNA/DNA using nucleic acid builder it
did not work and gives me error in coordinate file. If you have towhee
experience then I can forward you my files if you can help me. I wrote to
towhee users and developer team as well but did not hear any thing.

thank you again!
