        Hi, 
  I'm having some trouble running a QM/MM optimization on a system of a large protein. 
 
I just simplify it into a smaller system that ATP interacted with the surrounding of the residues.I define the ATP segment as qm region and the rest as mm region. 
  First,I take a task of prepare 
  
  Here is the input file,pre.nw: 
 
start reac Media:Example.ogg 
 
permanent_dir ./perm 
scratch_dir ./data 
 
charge -2 
 
prepare 
source  atp.pdb 
new_top  new_seq 
new_rst 
center 
orient 
modify segment 952  quantum 
update lists 
ignore 
write reac_ref.rst 
write reac_ref.pdb 
end 
 
task prepare 
 
   Then, I use the reac.top and reac_ref.rst files obtaining from the prepare task to make optimization.I possibility set some parameters smaller so that it can quickly verify. 
    
   The input file of optimization is showing below,opt.nw: 
 
start reac 
 
permanent_dir ./perm 
scratch_dir ./data 
 
 
md  
system reac_ref 
end 
 
basis 
end 
 
dft 
xc b3lyp 
end 
 
qmmm 
bqzone  20.0  
region  qm  mm 
maxiter 10  1000 
ncycles 2 
density espfit 
xyz foo 
end  
 
task qmmm dft optimize 
 
prepare 
read  reac_ref.rst 
write  reac_opt.pdb 
end 
 
task prepare 
 
 
 
The errors in the output file like this: 
 
 Memory utilization after 1st SCF pass:  
          Heap Space remaining (MW):        0.00                   0
