Description

This script carries out normal-mode and quasiharmonic analysis through CHARMM. It relies primarily on the CHARMM all-atom force field, with the option to use the block normal-mode method for large systems. In principle this script could also be used for elastic network model mode analysis if an model is constructed and given as an alternative force field.

Options

-ics key=value[,..] modefile 
extrapolate coordinates along internal coordinate normal modes with separate scaling factors for bonds, angles, and dihedrals
-dihedsample modefile prefix from to delta 
extrapolate coordinates along dihedral coordinate over given range (from-to, steps according to delta)
-entropy 
calculate vibrational entropy from normal modes
-psf PSFfile CRDfile 
use CHARMM PSF and CRD files to setup structure
-par key=value[,...] 
set CHARMM parameters
-log file 
output CHARMM log file

Examples

nmaCHARMM.pl -minimize 10000 -par dielec=rdie,epsilon=4 -modes 20 -xtract mode 1vii.exp.min.pdb
minimizes the input structure and calculates the 20 lowest normal modes. The frequencies are written to standard output, the modes are written to files mode.NN. Note that the first six modes are rigid body translation/rotation.
