Dear Fabrizio, good afternoon.

I'm also using MCPB.py program to study Bimetallic enzyme systems.

Today even managed to complete the steps until you reach the creation of
topology files and inicais speeds.

As for your question, the principle by which I understand is the following:

the most active site model you will make an optimization and then perform
a charge calculation. Because the key words (IOPS) used in the input if you
open
the output file .log corresponding gaussian in the / Initial Parameters
you will see that during the calculation of the sitema is frozen and
optimization is performed
only on the most external part of the system under study.

This is Pengfei?
