RE: [AMBER] Regarding Running QM/MM NEB with PM3-PDDG using Amber10

Hi Keith,

Just to check. You are using AMBER 10 Addles to create the prmtop file for the AMBER 10 NEB? The approach used changed between AMBER 9 and AMBER 10 so AMBER 9 NEB prmtop's will not work with AMBER 10 and vice versa.

All the best
Ross
