Hi Ivan,

A good reference is the following paper:

Peter Pulay et al. (1979)
Systematic ab initio gradient calculation of molecular geometries, force
constants and dipole moment derivatives. JACS 101(10), page 2550
The paper old but online, so you can download it.

Also there is some more practical info in the "Summer School 2003"
Material from the TCB Group:
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Training/SumSchool/labs.html
Take a look at "Quantum Chemistry of Proteins" and
"Parameters for Classical Force Fields".

Hope that helps,
                        Jan
