CHARMM

CHARMm (Chemistry at HARvard Molecular Mechanics) is the academic version of the CHARMM simulation program available through Harvard. CHARMm uses empirical energy functions to describe the forces on atoms in molecules. These functions, plus the parameters for their functions, constitute the CHARMm force field. Well-validated energy and force calculations form the core of a broad range of calculation and simulation capabilities, including calculation of interaction and conformational energies, local minima, barriers to rotation, time-dependent dynamic behavior, free energy, and vibrational frequencies.
