QM/MM with isolated QM box

[Matt W]

Hi Shihao,

it seems that your QM box is much too small  at 6 A^3 , _especially_
if you try to use the MT poisson solver,  it doesn't give the water
molecules room to move.

Use a larger QM box. Why not use the periodic and
decoupling.recoupling scheme, it is bound to end up cheaper?

good luck,

Matt
