Some force fields may be combined, for example CHARMM22 and CHARMM27 for the simulation of protein-DNA binding. Also, parameters for NAD+, sugars, fluorinated compounds, etc., may be downloaded. These force field version numbers refer to the CHARMM version where they first appeared, but may of course be used with subsequent versions of the CHARMM executable program. Likewise, these force fields may be used within other molecular dynamics programs that support them.
</p><p>In 2009, a general force field for drug-like molecules (CGenFF) was introduced. It "covers a wide range of chemical groups present in biomolecules and drug-like molecules, including a large number of heterocyclic scaffolds".<sup id="cite_ref-Vanommeslaeghe_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Vanommeslaeghe-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The general force field is designed to cover any combination of chemical groups. This inevitably comes with a decrease in accuracy for representing any particular subclass of molecules. Users are repeatedly warned in Mackerell's website not to use the CGenFF parameters for molecules for which specialized force fields already exist (as mentioned above for proteins, nucleic acids, etc.).
</p><p>CHARMM also includes polarizable force fields using two approaches. One is based on the fluctuating charge (FQ) model, also termed Charge Equilibration (CHEQ).<sup id="cite_ref-Patel2004a_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Patel2004a-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Patel2004b_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Patel2004b-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The other is based on the <a href="Drude_particle" title="Drude particle">Drude</a> shell or dispersion oscillator model.<sup id="cite_ref-Lamoureux_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Lamoureux-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Lamoureux3_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Lamoureux3-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Molecular_dynamics_program">Molecular dynamics program</h2></div>
<p>The CHARMM program allows for generating and analysing a wide range of molecular simulations. The most basic kinds of simulation are minimizing a given structure and production runs of a molecular dynamics trajectory. More advanced features include <a href="Free_energy_perturbation" class="mw-redirect" title="Free energy perturbation">free energy perturbation</a> (FEP), quasi-harmonic entropy estimation, correlation analysis and combined quantum, and <a href="Quantum_mechanics" title="Quantum mechanics">quantum mechanics</a>–<a href="Molecular_mechanics" title="Molecular mechanics">molecular mechanics</a> (<a href="QM/MM" title="QM/MM">QM/MM</a>) methods.
</p><p>CHARMM is one of the oldest programs for molecular dynamics. It has accumulated many features, some of which are duplicated under several keywords with slight variants. This is an inevitable result of the many outlooks and groups working on CHARMM worldwide. The <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070907000754/http://www.charmm.org/package/changelogs/c34log.shtml">changelog file</a>, and CHARMM's source code, are good places to look for the names and affiliations of the main developers. The involvement and coordination by <a href="Charles_L._Brooks_III" title="Charles L. Brooks III">Charles L. Brooks III</a>'s group at the <a href="University_of_Michigan" title="University of Michigan">University of Michigan</a> is salient.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Software_history">Software history</h2></div>
<p>Around 1969, there was considerable interest in developing potential energy functions for small molecules. CHARMM originated at <a href="Martin_Karplus" title="Martin Karplus">Martin Karplus</a>'s group at Harvard. Karplus and his then graduate student Bruce Gelin decided the time was ripe to develop a program that would make it possible to take a given amino acid sequence and a set of coordinates (e.g., from the X-ray structure) and to use this information to calculate the energy of the system as a function of the atomic positions. Karplus has acknowledged the importance of major inputs in the development of the (at the time nameless) program, including:
</p>
<ul><li>Schneior Lifson's group at the Weizmann Institute, especially from <a href="Arieh_Warshel" title="Arieh Warshel">Arieh Warshel</a> who went to Harvard and brought his consistent force field (<b>CFF</b>) program with him</li>
<li><a href="Harold_Scheraga" title="Harold Scheraga">Harold Scheraga</a>'s group at Cornell University</li>
<li>Awareness of <a href="Michael_Levitt_(biophysicist)" title="Michael Levitt (biophysicist)">Michael Levitt</a>'s pioneering energy calculations for proteins</li></ul>
<p>In the 1980s, finally a paper appeared and CHARMM made its public début. Gelin's program had by then been considerably restructured. For the publication, Bob Bruccoleri came up with the name HARMM (HARvard Macromolecular Mechanics), but it seemed inappropriate. So they added a C for Chemistry. Karplus said: "<i>I sometimes wonder if Bruccoleri's original suggestion would have served as a useful warning to inexperienced scientists working with the program.</i>"<sup id="cite_ref-Karplus2006_18-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Karplus2006-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> CHARMM has continued to grow and the latest release of the executable program was made in 2015 as CHARMM40b2.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Running_CHARMM_under_Unix-Linux">Running CHARMM under Unix-Linux</h2></div>
<p>The general syntax for using the program is:
</p><p><code>charmm -i filename.inp -o filename.out</code>
</p>
<ul><li><code>charmm</code> – The name of the program (or script which runs the program) on the computer system being used.</li>
<li><code>filename.inp</code> – A text file which contains the CHARMM commands. It starts by loading the molecular topologies (top) and <a href="Force_field_(chemistry)" title="Force field (chemistry)">force field</a> (par). Then one loads the molecular structures' Cartesian coordinates (e.g. from PDB files). One can then modify the molecules (adding hydrogens, changing secondary structure). The calculation section can include energy minimization, dynamics production, and analysis tools such as motion and energy correlations.</li>
<li><code>filename.out</code> – The log file for the CHARMM run, containing echoed commands, and various amounts of command output. The output print level may be increased or decreased in general, and procedures such as minimization and dynamics have printout frequency specifications. The values for temperature, energy pressure, etc. are output at that frequency.</li></ul>
