Re: Convert solvated CHARMM PDB + PSF to Amber

Hello Gianluca,

The ParmEd program is designed for conversion between force fields,
including CHARMM and Amber. It may be helpful for your work:

https://github.com/ParmEd/ParmEd

However, it is also possible to directly use the Amber FF in NAMD, without
having to convert anything. If you're simply trying to have your system
entirely using Amber parameters, it might be easier to do it in this way:

http://ambermd.org/namd/namd_amber.html

If you're trying to mix-and-match, using some Amber parameters and some
CHARMM parameters, that is likely to give unphysical results, and it's
generally advised to avoid this method.

Hopefully that's helpful,
Regards,
Michael Robinson
