<div style="word-wrap: break-word;">Hello Smiruthi,<div><br></div><div>Nice to hear that you're interested in the port. First, you need to run with the git head version (see instructions on my page <a href="http://www.dbb.su.se/User:bjelkmar/Ffcharmm" target="_blank">www.dbb.su.se/User:bjelkmar/Ffcharmm</a> or on <a href="http://gromacs.org/" target="_blank">gromacs.org</a>). Since about one month, the version of the force field (version 1.1) on this homepage has not been working with git head because the force field format was changed in GROMACS. Yesterday, I committed the updated version of the CHARMM parameters to the version-tracking program (git) in the head branch so it should work now. However, this is still a somewhat work-in-progress force field port (especially in the nucleic acid part) and there _might_ be changes (although minor ones for sure) until GROMACS 4.1 is released. The protein and lipid parts should be fairly safe to use though.</div>

<br>I am a Phd student in Rudy Lab (<a href="http://rudylab.wustl.edu/" target="_blank">http://rudylab.wustl.edu/</a>) at Wustl. We are working on comparing NAMD and Gromacs umbrella sampling related to passage of ions through membrane proteins.
