Hi Goette,
Thanks for your mail. I have just find an article done a similar
work...I am trying to reach them to get their parameters. Unfortunately
I am not having Gaussian. Can you suggest me some other freely available
quantum mechanics software ?
This reference article : "Binding affinity of hydroxamate inhibitors of
matrix metalloproteinase-2 "
Volume 10, Number 2 / April, 2004
