Abstract

CHARMM (Chemistry at HARvard Molecular Mechanics) is a highly versatile and widely used molecular simulation program. It has been developed over the last three decades with a primary focus on molecules of biological interest, including proteins, peptides, lipids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and small molecule ligands, as they occur in solution, crystals, and membrane environments. For the study of such systems, the program provides a large suite of computational tools that include numerous conformational and path sampling methods, free energy estimators, molecular minimization, dynamics, and analysis techniques, and model-building capabilities. The CHARMM program is applicable to problems involving a much broader class of many-particle systems. Calculations with CHARMM can be performed using a number of different energy functions and models, from mixed quantum mechanical-molecular mechanical force fields, to all-atom classical potential energy functions with explicit solvent and various boundary conditions, to implicit solvent and membrane models. The program has been ported to numerous platforms in both serial and parallel architectures. This article provides an overview of the program as it exists today with an emphasis on developments since the publication of the original CHARMM article in 1983.

摘要

CHARMM(哈佛分子力学化学)是一个用途广泛且被广泛使用的分子模拟程序。在过去三十年中它不断发展,主要专注于具有生物学意义的分子,包括蛋白质、肽、脂质、核酸、碳水化合物和小分子配体,这些分子存在于溶液、晶体和膜环境中。对于此类系统的研究,该程序提供了一整套计算工具,包括众多构象和路径采样方法、自由能估算器、分子最小化、动力学和分析技术以及模型构建功能。CHARMM程序适用于涉及更广泛的多粒子系统类别的问题。使用CHARMM进行计算可以采用多种不同的能量函数和模型,从混合量子力学 - 分子力学力场,到具有显式溶剂和各种边界条件的全原子经典势能函数,再到隐式溶剂和膜模型。该程序已被移植到众多串行和并行架构的平台上。本文概述了该程序的现状,重点介绍自1983年发表原始CHARMM文章以来的发展情况。
