Hi,

I am trying to perform a QM/MM simulation of my protein-ligand complex, I
took the last structure as reference complex after performing classical
simulation for QM-MM simulation. The ligand is cellotriose.

This is my QMM_minimization settings:

QM_MM minimization of the whole system
&cntrl
imin = 1,
maxcyc=2000, ncyc=500,
ntc=1,ntf=1, (tried minimization even after removing ntc and ntf parameters)
ntb=1, cut=12,
ifqnt=1
&end
 &qmmm

qmmask='.2138-2143,7734-7740,8089-8154,27938-27940,30275-30277,27860-27862,19376-19378,27785-27787,27725-27727,30701-30703,30635-30637,30803-30805,28574-28576'
  qmcharge=-1,
  qm_theory='PM3',
  qmcut=20.0,
  writepdb=1
 &end

I am getting the scf convergence error:

What could be wrong with my system? Is it the starting conformation or the
usage wrong hamiltonian ? Is it wrong choice of the of cutting the QM and
MM atoms?



I have provided a link to my files here:

Could anybody please provide some help in solving this problem.?
