CCL: Combined Molecular Dynamics and Semiempirical Methods



 Sent to CCL by: "james vivian" [jamestvivian|msn.com]
 CHARMM + semiempirial is a nice way to fly if you want to generate the
 trajectories.  You can pass charges via the "usersb" subroutine
 option,
 feeding the charges back into CHARMM at increments along the trajectory.  If
 you are only doing a ground state calculation, it's reasonably
 straightforward.
