Dear Amber team and expert users,
I've prepared prmtop/inpcrd files for a metalloprotein-ligand system with
Heme-Fe.
I'm curious regarding the feasibility and usage for QM/MM-MD simulations in
Amber using Gaussian16 as the QM engine.
The Amber24 manual has options for this in section 10.2.6.3. AMBER/Gaussian
on Page 177-178. (https://ambermd.org/doc12/Amber24.pdf)
However, the namelist variable "basis" doesn't give details on whether one
can use pseudopotentials (ECPs) as in typical QM or QM/MM jobs in
Gaussian16.

If not what would be the best compromise between feasibility/accuracy/speed
for setting up such calculations and would it be possible to simulate TS
states if bonds breaking/forming is all within the QM part of the
calculation?

My question may not be clear or meaningful since I've very basic
understanding of the QM/MM-MD and haven't even tried the Amber tutorial for
the same.

Since I have a descent GPU+CPU setup on HPC, I wanted to try it to further
understand/learn the detailed (science/technical) aspects.
Thus, I am hoping that someone on the Amber team can give some valuable
suggestions, and tips for attempting to setup such complicated QM/MM-MD
simulations and try to simulate the proton transfer step (RC---H---O=FePor)
and possibly estimate the barrier for the same.

Thank you once again for your continued support and valuable suggestions.
Best regards,

Regards,
