CP2K tutorial for biochemical systems

[Dries Van Rompaey]

Hi,

You can observe the reaction occurring by visualising the xyz files of 
metadynamics qmmm simulation - you will see the C-O bond breaking and the 
C-C bond forming. You can also plot the collective variable in the 
metadynlog file: the 3 to 8 bohr region is occupied by the substrate and 
the -3 to -8 region is occupied by the product.

Hope this helps,

Dries
