Re: [AMBER] Using CHARMM 36 force field in AMBER

I strongly recommend copying additional emails like this to the listserv -
archiving questions will help people with questions like this in the future.

The most versatile and recent method for making force field modifications
like this is the ParmEd program and library that is packaged with
AmberTools. There is an updated CHAMBER equivalent therein:

https://parmed.github.io/ParmEd/html/parmed.html#chamber

I have not seen or done any specific tests to make sure that
energies/forces are comparable between AMBER and other packages like CHARMM
or NAMD when using files generated in this way.

Ultimately, I expect the best way is to generate a CHARMM system in the
usual way using something like CHARMM-GUI, although I'm not sure that this
will automate the CHARMM36 inputs for AMBER (perhaps Jason or another
ParmEd developer can comment on this?)

HTH,
Brian
