Hi Francesco,
We are currently in the early stages of planning and developing a QM-
MM implementation for NAMD. There's obvious interest from the
community as well as our own group for this functionality.
We'd be happy to hear about any specific types of QM-MM calculations,
functionalities or applications that might be useful to those
interested.
Best,
Chris
