CCL:G: working with charges

 Sent to CCL by: "George V Papamokos" [me00109###cc.uoi.gr]
 Dear cclers,
 Iam currently working with charged oligopeptides. These peptides are multiply
 charged  (positive and negative charges) resulting to a total charge either
 positive or negative.
 in the input of gaussian software i can give the total charge of the molecule
 but how do I know that this is distributed as it should be?
 For example, an oxygen is connected with a single bond with a carbon atom and it
 carries a -1 charge. Two nitrogens are also connencted with two other  Carbon
 atoms and they  carry a +1 charge each. Total charge -1. I declare the total
 charge in the first lines of the input (1 1 ) but how do I know that the charges
 are correctly distributed to the proper atoms?
 Is it just a matter of bond distances?
 Thank you in advance.
