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 <A HREF="http://mmtsb.scripps.edu/cgi-bin/charmmpar" TARGET=cpar>here</A>.
Various restraints can be set with -l, -cons, and -hmcm
as in <docmark>minCHARMM.pl</docmark>
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.

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.
