Sorry I need to check my [AMBER] forum box more frequently. From the looks
of this, the MM energy has a lot of parameters in it and should track the
QM energy, if only in a mean sense, perhaps wildly vacillating around the
QM curve, if that's feasible for the parameters. I concur with Dave Case,
that some sort of clashes are probably throwing off the overall MM energy.
If you run the mdgx parameter fitting with the "AccReport" keyword in the
¶m namelist (run mdgx -PARAM to see the keywords and their
descriptions) you will get some Matlab / Octave parseable files that will
help illustrate the energies you put in, the fitted energies, and how the
fitted parameters contribute to them. That will help you track this down.
