You specify charged or neutral parts by building a GUESS=CARDS initial guess input file (http://www.gaussian.com/g_tech/g_ur/k_guess.htm) that correspond to your desired charge distribution. Building such initial guess for Gaussian or GAMESS calculations is fully automated if you use the AOMix software (www.sg-chem.net). You can find all the necessary details about the procedure in Appendix II of the AOMix manual. -- Best regards,   Serge Gorelsky From owner-chemistry@ccl.net Mon Aug 9 11:50:03 2010 From: "Carlos Alberto Ortega Zu iga caoz96()yahoo.es" To: CCL Subject: CCL: Information about charges in ligands in docking studies Message-Id: <-42485-100809112850-2140-Y+BcEPFgVlzS+g+aYwPsLQ ~~ server.ccl.net> X-Original-From: "Carlos Alberto Ortega Zu iga" Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2010 11:28:48 -0400 Sent to CCL by: "Carlos Alberto Ortega Zu iga" [caoz96{:}yahoo.es] Dear CCL users, I have a doubt about the charges that i must use, when i do a docking ligand-protein. The procedure i do is the following: I optimize the ligand with DFT level, to obtain the structure of molecule more relaxed. I use DOCK program for the docking. But i dont know what charges i must use when i do the docking, because the optimization offer me charges Mulliken and the software of docking use other charges, like Gasteiger-Hckel. Then what charges recomend me? And why? There are references that say this? I really thanks your help and info.

Of course, such systems may well be a problem, as indeed almost all transition metal calculations may be a problem.
