Its true that ReadySet! does not handle the glycans as well as it should. Its on my list of things to fix, but you can delete the hydrogens by hand for a short time. This actually brings up an interesting point. I believe its better to add the hydrogens once and use that model for all subsequent refinements. In this scenario, you use ReadySet! once and the addition of hydrogens is a "checkpoint" in the refinement process.
This only makes sense if you assume that no more atoms which might contain hydrogens will be added during refinement - which is very rarely the case until the very end. It would be helpful if ReadySet didn't add hydrogens to ligands that already have one or more built, since this will both avoid the replacement of spurious hydrogens on glycans and also make subsequent runs much faster. -Nat
