Re: [AMBER] On QM/MM dummy atom and deprotonated TYR

 Dear Clorice and Amber experts,

It is the first time I derive charges for a central nonnatural residue.
According to the paper of Cieplak 1995, it must be capped with ACE and NME,
and those residues have predefined charges.

Is there a way to keep the charges of ACE and NME fixed to the predefined
values during
the RESP fitting?

To the final .lib file I should only export the data regarding the central
residue, not ACE and NME, right?

Thanks!
