We tested everything, at least in terms of representative examples.  Single 
amino acids, full proteins in vacuo, single nucleotides, full-length ssRNA and 
dsDNA, individual lipids with and without water and ions, proteins in solution 
with ions, and a wide variety of small molecules interacting with each other. 
Everything came out in agreement between the two programs, including everything

Dear Justin,

Thanks for you information.
I have a small query on the residue name in the charmm36.ff folder. Is
there any document illustrating for the corresponding full name of residues
in the .rtp file.
As you have illustrated in the file forcefield.doc, the parameters for
some carbohydrates such as glucose should be implemented. I found the
residues named AALT or AALL should be for glucose, but the names are
not easy to understand. Is there any illustration already existing to
explain what the abbreviations stand for?

Residue names come directly from the CHARMM force field files.  Since those 
files are also freely available, you can easily check what is what.  The CHARMM 
files typically include an artistic rendering of the molecule, as best we can 
do with ASCII :)

Just to clarify, AALT and AALL are not for glucose, they are alpha-D-altrose and

Hi Justin,

are you guys planning anything to make pdb2gmx understand the CHARMM patch
residues? We have some python scripts which generate new residues based on
the patch residues, which allows us to simulate branched molecules (e.g.
glycosylation or lignin). But that approach is very suboptimal and I think
a more general approach would be very nice.

It's something we're thinking about, though not something we have a generalized 
solution for at the moment.  For example, in CHARMM we generate all nucleic 
acids as RNA and then patch the 2' site to become DNA.  Because of this 
procedure, we had to hard-code the DNA .rtp entries so that they could be used 
in GROMACS since there are no DNA entries in the top files.  It is just a 
microcosm of the larger patching architecture that would definitely be useful 
for polysaccharides and more complex chemical species.

All,

I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of the latest CHARMM36 force 
field in GROMACS format.  You can obtain the archive from our lab's website at 
http://mackerell.umaryland.edu/CHARMM_ff_params.html.


The present version contains up-to-date parameters for proteins, nucleic acids, 
lipids, some carbohydrates, CGenFF version 2b7, and a variety of of other small 
molecules.  Please refer to forcefield.doc, which contains a list of citations 
that describe the parameters, as well as the CHARMM force field files that were 
used to generate the distribution.


We have validated the parameters by comparing energies of a wide variety of 
molecules within CHARMM and GROMACS and have found excellent agreement between 
the two.  If anyone has any issues or questions, please feel free to post them 
to this list or directly to me at the email address below.


Happy simulating!

-Justin
