Dear Amber community

I'm trying to select DFTB3 as a QM hamiltonian in an MM-GBSA calculation
because DFTB2 reports missing parameters for F. However, when selecting
qm_theory as DFTB3 I get the following error:

File
"~/Programs/amber22/lib/python3.11/site-packages/MMPBSA_mods/main.py",
line 879, in check_for_bad_input
     raise InputError('Invalid QM_THEORY (%s)! ' % INPUT['qm_theory'] +
InputError: Invalid QM_THEORY (DFTB3)! This variable must be set to
allowable options.


and in the respective file DFTB3 is indeed not listed:
[amber22/lib/python3.11/site-packages/MMPBSA_mods/main.py]

       if INPUT['ifqnt'] == 1:
          if not INPUT['qm_theory'] in
['PM3','AM1','MNDO','PDDG-PM3','PM3PDDG',
'PDDG-MNDO','PDDGMNDO','PM3-CARB1',
'PM3CARB1','DFTB','SCC-DFTB','RM1','PM6',
                                        'PM3-ZnB','PM3-MAIS', 'PM6-D',
'PM6-DH+',
                                        'AM1-DH+', 'AM1-D*', 'PM3ZNB',
'MNDO/D',
                                        'MNDOD']:
             raise InputError('Invalid QM_THEORY (%s)! ' %
INPUT['qm_theory'] +
                       'This variable must be set to allowable options.\n' +
                       '       See the Amber manual for allowable options.')


If i add DFTB3 in these options, the MMPBSA.py calculation runs without
problems on my compounds with F atoms.


Kind regards


Charles-Alexandre Mattelaer
