CRATE-version 9.0.1

CRATE is a package supporting the CHARMMRATE module of CHARMM.  It contains a utility for modifying POLYRATE for use with CHARMMRATE, and it contains two test runs demonstrating the use of CHARMMRATE for enzyme reaction simulations.

CHARMMRATE is a module of CHARMM for interfacing POLYRATE to CHARMM.

The prospective user of CHARMMRATE-version 1.0 needs to obtain:
 

1. CHARMM-version 27b2, 27b1, or 28b2 (this contains CHARMMRATE-1.0 as a module)
2. POLYRATE-version 9.0 or later is recommended
3. CRATE-version 9.0.1


The prospective user of CHARMMRATE-version 2.0 needs to obtain:
 

1. CHARMM-version 28b3 or later (when available, this will contain CHARMMRATE-2.0 as a module)
2. POLYRATE-version 9.0 or later is recommended
3. CRATE-version 9.0.1


A CHARMM license and the CHARMM program should be obtained from an academic or commercial CHARMM licenser.

POLYRATE can be obtained from its home page:
