Hi Kenji, I do not see the problem or understand what you mean by "did not work"... You have one structure that is cholesterol. The other two structures are 25-hydroxycholesterol, which is a different molecule than cholesterol, so of course it will not have the same topology. One of the two structures of 25-hydroxycholesterol has hydrogens, the other does not, but the hydrogens appear to be correctly added. If you add hydrogens of course it will change the topology because there are more atoms. Maybe you only meant that the conformation of the C24-C27 part is different? I can see a rotational difference but it has nothing to do with the hydrogens. The conformation is that way before you add hydrogens and adding hydrogens did not change it. You can rotate the bonds to change the conformation if you want, e.g. the C23-C24 bond. How to rotate bonds in Chimera (menu: Tools.. Structure Editing... Adjust Torsions): <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/editing/editing.html#adjust> We did not write that tutorial so I cannot comment specifically on it.

Dear Chimera
Thank you very much for your kind answers.
Sorry, I have a question about the issue of ligand topology for the docking study.
The topology did not match when I used this ligand for the docking study.
Could you tell me how to solve this problem?
The thing I tried
1. I tried to add hydrogen atoms on UCSF Chimera by following the URL below, but it did not work
Reference: https://www.swissparam.ch/SwissParam_gromacs_tutorial.html
2. Compare with the contents of the Mol2 file for cholesterol that was correctly docked.
