Hi,

I have a following issue:
I use the force field CHARMM22-CMAP (that is charmm27-CMAP) in gromacs to calculate the chignolin.pdb, I want to know the energy items of just this one conformation. I choose to run a very simple md, just one step. my input file writes as follows:

md.mdp
emtol                    = 10
emstep                   = 0.001
niter                    = 1
fcstep                   = 0
nstcgsteep               = 1000
nbfgscorr                = 10
rtpi                     = 0.05
nstxout                  = 0
nstvout                  = 0
nstfout                  = 0
nstlog                   = 100
nstcalcenergy            = -1
nstenergy                = 10
nstxtcout                = 100
xtc-precision            = 1000
energygrps               = System


And I also use CHARMM with the same force field CHARMM22-CMAP, but the enerCHARMM.pl command to calculate chignolin's energy items. But I found that their results are quite different. I'd like to list below:

                              charmm22     gromacs/md22
chignolin(kcal/mol)

torsion                        45.994          46.4236
                            =  -0.0595     =   -0.0684
                             + 46.0533      +  46.478
+ 0.0002 + 0.014 ( I have Unified their unit to kcal/mol)

I want to know why their results shown such a difference? I also use step=0 and minimization method to try, but nearly the same result. Theoretically,Two different MD programs calculating one same structure should give out the results which differ no more than 0.01kcal/mol, but, this makes me confused. So could you please help me find where the problem is or the reasons?
Thank you!

Looking forward to your kind reply!
