Hello AMBER users,

> I am using AMBER 14 to conduct QM/MM for a methyltransferase system. My

> with the qm-region in regards to charge error. The main problem in the
> qm-region is the substrate ARG332. I've tried numerous orders of the
> substrate in the qm-region (as shown below): Two different runs for
> constant volume held.
