Hi Mahmoud,

   I wonder can I do NEB calculations to find the lowest energy path
between
   two points (Reactant and product) for a reaction happens between a
ligand
   and enzyme using QM/MM approach? or that would be difficult due the
fact
   that in enzymes there will be thousands of degrees of freedom. If my
guess
   is true, is there any alternative to do a simple QM/MM potential
energy
   surface? any tutorial on that?

You can certainly do it the code will allow it. How well it will work will
very much depend on how you setup the calculation, the QM region you choose
and whether the QM theory model you use is appropriate for that reaction.
As
long as the bond is broken within the QM region though there is nothing
stopping you running this. You will just have to be careful building your
two end point prmtops. I suggest checking the literature for everything
involving NEB before you start though.

Good luck,

Ross
