[CP2K:2420] QM/MM input

Hi Caterina,

QM/MM fully periodic is definitely not the most trivial thing one can do.
I would suggest you first to try the non-periodic QM/MM coupling and 
check how the system behaves. Once you have
a better understanding you can try to move to the fully periodic one.

The reason why QM atoms twist and elongate too much may also be due to 
the QM setup. So better you try to isolate the source of this problem.

The line that specifies the fixed_atoms I think is too long: the list 
could be cut at the parsing of the input file.
The keyword LIST is repeatable. So better you use more of these keywords 
rather than having a single line with millions of numbers.

Regards
Teo
