Dear justin, 

Thank your for your clear answer.

The parameters are specifically written for CHARMM force field based on the experimental results. 

Particularly, charges and non-bonded interaction values for ligand molecule of CO ( Carbon Monoxide) in Myoglobin are written in literature.

Since Gromos 43a1 has parameter for heme with CO, therefore I asked you " Is that possible to use only this CO ligand charges and non-bonded values derive

d from experimental and written in CHARMM ff ?.

In other case, shall I use this CHARMM ff values for CO in CHARMM27/36 provided by groamcs  without doing any conversion ?

Thanks in advance.

"CHARMM format" and "CHARMM force field" are different, so what is the origin of 
those parameters? Were they developed specifically for CHARMM or some other 
force field? If these parameters were not specifically designed to be 
consistent within Gromos96 43A1, my original point stands - they cannot be 
combined with a force field for which they were not self-consistently derived.

Both CHARMM27 and CHARMM36 are fully supported by Gromacs.
