I am actually trying to simulate the formation of the bond. My system is a
docking complex in which the ligand just sits in the active site and I am
planning to use QMMM to simulate the formation of the bond. Before that I
want to construct a reaction path and predict the transition state. For
that I am restraining the distances. I am planning to ass the QMMM terms to
the input file once I succeed with the restraining
