User Guide

the COBRAMM GitLab wiki pages host the Installation Guide and the Manual, including a brief introduction to the QM/MM scheme and COBRAMM basic usage guide.

Tutorial 1: Ground/excited state optimization and MD of benzophenone in H2O

The tutorial cover the MM setup and the QM/MM calculations of a benzophenone molecule solvated in water, to compute absorption and emission properties with TD-CAM-B3LYP using  Gaussian, and finally excited state molecular dynamics. This tutorial requires working installations of Gaussian and Amber.

Tutorial 2: Photoisomerization of the retinal chromophore embedded in the Rhodopsin protein

The tutorial introduces some COBRAMM functionalities with simple“static” and “dynamical” studies of the retinal photochemistry in protein environment, using the crystallographic data of Bovine Rhodopsin (Rh; PDB code: 1U19, chain A). This tutorial requires working installation of Gaussian, Amber and (Open)Molcas.
