Dear AMBER users and developers:

Is there any chance to do QMMM calculations with AMBER if the QM region
contains calcium ions? Sander crashes with:
QMMM: Atom number: 111 has atomic number 19.
QMMM: There are no PM3 parameters for this element. Sorry.

I also searched DFTB but there also seem to be no parameters for Ca. Can
I add these parameters from a publication like this:
Stewart, J.J.P., J Mol Model (2004) 10:155–164

And then a somewhat related question: What are the better classical
force field parameters for calcium - Aqvist JPC 1990,94,8021 or
Bradbrook et al. Journal of the Chemical Society-Faraday Transactions
1998,94,1603

Thank you very much.
Thomas
