Hi,
I am using AMBER 12 to do QMMM calculation using G09 as external QM
package. I have a couple questions and I would be grateful
if somebody could help.
- 1) Is it electronic embedding? The user manual (Amber 12) state that "*For
QM/MM simulations with electronic embedding it is mandatory to specify the
charge of the** QM region in the &qmmm namelist with variable qmcharge
in addition to specifying the charge** in the namelist that is**
specific for the external QM program". *But I received the message that
these keywords are deprecated (charge in the case G09)*.* The Gaussian
input "*#P M062X/6-31g** SCF=(Conver=8) NoSymm Force Guess=Read Charge
Prop=(Field,Read)*" contains the *charge* keyword and the coordinate/MM
charges of the surrounding. I think this means the electrostatic part of
environment is included in the QM Hamiltonian and the calculation is EE. I
would be grateful if somebody could confirm this.
- 2) How *EXTERNESCF* is realated to SCF in G09? I am also confused
about the sander output. For a point in my calculation I get,*
EXTERNESCF= -216070.1690* while the G09 output for same point is *SCF
Done: E(RM062X) = -1704.92860364*. The G09 energies are A.U which if
converted to kcal/mol or kj/mol would be very different from the value
given as *EXTERNESCF. *what is this discrepancy?
Thank you for your help.
