Hi,

The CHELP and others are different methods to find atom centered 
point charges which would reproduce the electrostatic potential of 
the molecule. The difference between these methods is in the 
selection of points where the electrostatic potential is computed. 
The charges thus determined are usually used for the calculations of 
the electrostatic interactions between molecules.
