Re: [AMBER] Error when running QM/MM MD for actinide and lanthanide system by amber

Dear Junbo,

Without knowing i) which version of Amber you are using, ii) how you changed the code and iii) the error message that you get, it is hard to help. Please be more specific.

For lanthanides it might be sufficient to extend qmmm_module.F90. For actinides, elementOrbitalIndex.F90 also requires updates; other files possibly, too. This all assumes that you want to use an external QM code and not the semiempirical QM methods that are native to Amber.

All the best,
Andy
