Re: [AMBER] QM/MM tutorial

Hi Marc,

Many thanks for suggestions! The inclusion of the side chain's atoms to the
QM mask have been solved my problem.

Could you also tell me

1) What the information from the initial ff parameters of my QM group taken
from the prmtop would be most meaningful for the qm/mm simulation.
Previously you've mentioned that this information will be ignored during
qm/mm run but it seem that initial molecular 3D geometry and charge
distribution have some matter, haven't it?

2) What are the most reasonable methods and tools for the analysis of QM/MM
trajectories ? On what dynamical properties of simulated system should I
paid most of attention? E.g the most trivial is the analysis of the 3D
geometry during simulation. How can I make such analysis obtaining both
visualization and numerical values (E.g torsion angles in
functional-relevant groups)? Does it possible to calculate charge density
for those groups as well?
