[AMBER] ligand QM/semi-empirical coords optmisation

Hi there,
I was wondering if there's a reasonable good method to improve the coords of
ligands. I took a look at RED using gamess to try to optmise the structure
of a ligand, but as RED devs reports, this may fail and indeed failed for
me.

I don't need anything sophisticate so I was wondering if even mopac via
antechamber would have a way of given a pdb of ligand try to improve its
coordinates (and then I would do single-point charges with RED/gamess)
either by QM or semi-empirical methods.

We have a small DB here in which it was used Corina, but frankly, I don't
like much this approach and I would like to compare these results with
something that would be more soundly meaningful for me.

Many thanks in advance.

Alan
