Dear Thomas

Thank you for your suggestions but I don't know how to check charges for the
deprotonated tyrosine. Please give me more details.

Best regard,

This sounds like something that should not be ignored. All the different
molecules in your system should have integer charges. Check where the
.48 charge is located and take a close look if the partial charges there
are reasonable. My guess would be that something in your resp calculation
went wrong. Do the charges for the deprotonated tyrosine differ much from
those of the regular tyrosine residue?
