Many thanks for all suggestions. I will try with R.E.D.

Dear Jeffrey,

As Manish Kumar suggested you, you can use the R.E.D. tools for that. You will have to use Ante_R.E.D. to prepare the P2N input(s) for R.E.D. Once again, you will have to select well defined conformation(s) here [minimum(a) or transition state structure(s)].

Ante_R.E.D. is going to re-order the atoms in your initial PDB file so that the methyle & methylene groups will be clearly identified for RESP charge derivation. You will have to carefully check the atom connectivities in the p2n file to reflect the correct topology of your radical. Provide the correct spin multiplicity & total charge in the P2N file (if different from 1 & 0, respectively).

See http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/Tutorial-1.php#3 for the description of the p2n file format.

See http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/Tutorial-1.php &     http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/Tutorial-3.php for examples of p2n files & charge derivation for whole molecules & molecular fragments.

You might adapt the theory level of QM computations in the R.E.D. source code as well (since you have a radical).

regards, Francois
