On a different note: you say you have a system with "an enzyme ligand
complex in
which the ligand binds covalently to a residue in the protein". If you want
to break a covalent bond (and that bond is defined by an MM bond term),
you'll have to use QM/MM (or other advanced techniques, such as EVB) to
actually 'break' the bond, otherwise you are just 'fighting against' the
harmonic bond term and the energy will simply go up very sharply.
Your current input doesn't specify anything but normal MM.
