angle_style charmm command
==========================

Accelerator Variants: *charmm/intel*, *charmm/kk*, *charmm/omp*

Syntax
""""""

.. code-block:: LAMMPS

   angle_style charmm

Examples

.. code-block:: LAMMPS

   angle_style charmm

Description
"""""""""""

The *charmm* angle style uses the potential

.. math::

   E = K (\theta - \theta_0)^2 + K_{ub} (r - r_{ub})^2

with an additional Urey_Bradley term based on the distance :math:`r` between
the first and third atoms in the angle.  :math:`K`, :math:`\theta_0`,
:math:`K_{ub}`, and :math:`R_{ub}` are coefficients defined for each angle
type.

See :ref:`(MacKerell) <angle-MacKerell>` for a description of the CHARMM force
field.

The following coefficients must be defined for each angle type via the
:doc:`angle_coeff <angle_coeff>` command as in the example above, or in
the data file or restart files read by the :doc:`read_data <read_data>`
or :doc:`read_restart <read_restart>` commands:

* :math:`K` (energy)
* :math:`\theta_0` (degrees)
* :math:`K_{ub}` (energy/distance\^2)
* :math:`r_{ub}` (distance)

:math:`\theta_0` is specified in degrees, but LAMMPS converts it to
radians internally; hence :math:`K` is effectively energy per
radian\^2.

Restrictions
""""""""""""

This angle style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
MOLECULE package.  See the :doc:`Build package <Build_package>` doc page
for more info.
