Hi Joao,
Thank you for your instructions.
However, in my case, the left side of the "Generating Missing QM Region
Topology" window is empty and the dropdown list of "select residue" is also
blank. I have loaded this molecule into the QwikMD in the very beginning.
Do you have an idea what might go wrong here?
Following is the link of my PDB file and stream file.

Many thanks.
Best regards,
William
