Hello,

thank you for your suggestion. I don't think that the mask definition is the
source of the problem. I have successfully used this syntax in previous
simulations and I also tested the same input using PM3 -> everything was
working. Used mask matches with first 4 atoms in the structure:
(output for test with PM3):

.....................

 QMMM: QM Region Cartesian Coordinates (*=link atom)
  QMMM: QM_NO. MM_NO. ATOM X Y Z
  QMMM: 1 1 C -1.5731 1.7469 -0.9095
  QMMM: 2 2 H -2.2504 1.8277 -1.7597
  QMMM: 3 3 H -1.4412 2.6488 -0.3118
  QMMM: 4 4 H -2.0047 1.0336 -0.2074
  QMMM: 5 *H -0.5362 1.4912 -1.1275

   4. RESULTS

According to this output I believe that used syntax in mask is right.

Thanks, Zora
