Description

This script allows running molecular dynamics simulations with CHARMM. It is intended primarily for running protein simulations with implicit solvent in the NVT ensemble. Particle Mesh Ewald electrostatics, Langevin dynamics, periodic boundaries, NPT ensembles and other more advanced simulation features are not supported at this point but may be added in the future.

Simulation parameters are set with -par. A list of available parameters is given here. Various restraints can be set with -l, -cons, and -hmcm as in minCHARMM.pl

The remaining options are used to set input and output files. With -stdout a common tag may be given to generate the standard set of output files. To set file names individual files the options -enerout, -trajout, -restout, -final, -elog, -log, -cmd are available for the trajectory output file, the restart output file, a PDB file with the final conformation, an energy log file, a CHARMM log file, and commands sent to CHARMM, respectively.
The option -restart is available to restart a simulation from a previously written restart file.

loads a reference PDB file into the comparison coordinate set
-charmmexec charmmexec 
uses the specified CHARMM executable

Examples

mdCHARMM.pl -stdout 1vii.md -par dynsteps=1000 1vii.exp.min.pdb
runs 1000 steps of molecular dynamics simulation in vacuum starting from the given input file. Default output files are generated with the tag 1vii.md.


mdCHARMM.pl -par dynsteps=500,dyntemp=320,gb -restout restart 1vii.exp.min.pdb
runs 500 steps molecular dynamics simulation at 320K using GB implicit solvent. Only a restart file is written out.


mdCHARMM.pl -par dynsteps=500,dyntemp=320,gb -cons ca self 1:36_5.0 -restart restart -final - 1vii.exp.min.pdb
restarts a previous simulation and continues for another 500 steps at 320K. C-alpha coordinates are restrained to the initial position for all residues with a force constant of 5 kcal/mol. The final conformation is written to standard output.
