CHARMM-TURBOMOLE Annoucement

[Christopher Rowley]

Hi Turbomole users,

I am pleased to announce the publication of our article describing the QM/MM interface between CHARMM and TURBOMOLE,

Riahi, S., Rowley C.N. The CHARMM-TURBOMOLE Interface for Efficient and Accurate QM/MM Molecular Dynamics, Free Energies, and Excited State Properties. J. Comput. Chem. 2014, DOI: 10.1002/jcc.23716
http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/jcc.23716

For those who do not have a J. Comput. Chem. subscription, a post-print of the article is available here:

A complete set of input files for the examples is available through our GitHub repository:

Feel free to contact me with any questions,
Sincerely,
Christopher Rowley

Unfortunately, a serious bug in the CHARMM developmental distribution has just been reported to me. The forces on the MM region from the QM region were not being read by the CHARMM/TURBOMOLE module. I've submitted a fixed version of gukini.src, which should be incorporated into the distribution shortly. I don't yet know which versions were affected. If you would like me to check your version, please email me and I can check your version and send you a patch.

My apologies for any inconvenience,
Chris Rowley
