Generalized Born Solvation Energy and Forces Module
The GBORN module permits the calculation of the Generalized Born
solvation energy and forces of this energy following a formulation
similar to that of Still and co-workers and as described in the
manuscript from B. Dominy and C.L. Brooks, III (see below). This
module implements the following equation for the polarization energy,
Gpol:
q q
N N i j
G = -C (1-1/eps){1/2 sum sum ------------------------------------ }
pol el i=1 j=1 [r^2 + alpha *alpha exp(-D )]^(0.5)
ij i j ij
The gradient of the function is also computed so forces due to solvent
polarization can be utilized in energy minimization and dynamics. In
its current implementation, the calculation of the alpha(i) variables
and the sums over particles indicated in the sums above are done
without cutoffs, therefore for large systems these can be costly
calculations (though still less so than for explicit solvent).
Questions and comments regarding implementation of these equations or
there parameterization for the CHARMM forcefields (param19/toph19,
param22 for proteins and nucleic acids) should be directed to Charles
L. Brooks, III at brookscl@umich.edu. Use of the GB term for MMFF and
CFF has recently been implemented and the parameters are given below
under examples.

B. Dominy and C. L. Brooks, III. Development of a Generailzed Born
Model Parameterization for Proteins and Nucleic Acids.
J. Phys. Chem., 103, 3765-3773(1999).
An alternative method for calculating atomic Generalized Born radii
(alpha values) is available. This method extends the original
formalism by Still and coworkers and has atom type specific
parameters. The resulting solvation free energies are generally
more accurate with respect to reference Poisson-Boltzmann energies.
So far parameter sets are only available for CHARMM19 and CHARMM22
protein models.

Parameters of the Generalized Born Model in the original Still model
P1-P6 The parameters P1, P2, ..., P5 specify the particular parameters
controlling the calculation of the effective Born radius for
a particular configuration of the biomolecule as determined from
the sum over all atoms:
Alpha(i) = [-CCELEC/(2*Lambda*R(i)) + P1*CCELEC/(2*R(i)^2
+ Sum {P2*V(j)/rij^4} + Sum {P3*V(j)/rij^4}
bonds angles
+ Sum {P4*V(j)*Cij/rij^4}]^(-1)*(-CCELEC)/2
non-bonded
with Cij = 1 when (rij^2)/(R(i)+R(j))^2 > 1/P5
and Cij = 1/4(1-cos[P5*PI*(rij^2)/(R(i)+R(j))^2])^2 otherwise.
Note: R(i), V(i) correspond to the vdW radius and volume respectively,
CCELEC is the conversion from e^2/A to kcal/mol, rij is the separation
between atom i and atom j.
Lambda This is the scaling parameter for the vdW radius in the first term
of the expression above.
Note: The parameters P1-P5 and Lambda correspond to parameters for a
particular CHARMM parameter/topology set.
***The parameters P1-P5 and Lambda are required input***
Parameters of the Generalized Born Model in the extended approach
GBTYpe 10 selects the extended approach for calculating Generalized
Born radii
PARUnit is used to specify the unit from which the parameter set is read
If this option is not given parameters are read from the current
input stream.
The parameter set is expected to contain a single line
for for each atom type that occurs in the modeled structure
with the following values:
Atomtype Pr0 Pb Pa Pn Pmf Pef Pgd Pgn Pdc
They are used as follows in the calculation of GB radii:
G(i) = Pr0 * 1/R(i) + Pb * Sum V(j)/rij^4 +
bonds
Pa * Sum V(j)/rij^4 * CCF +
angles
Pnb * Sum V(j)/rij^4 * CCF
non-bond
F(i) = G(i) * ( 1 + Pmf * Sum V(j)/rij^3 )
non-bond
Alpha(i) = 1 / ( Pgd + F(i) + Pef * F(i)*F(i) ) + Pgn
Pdc is used to modify Dij in the GB approximation to:
Dij = rij^2 / ( (Pdc(i) + Pdc(j)) * Alpha(i) * Alpha(j) )
The parameter set needs to be terminated with a line
containing only 'END'.
Common Parameters for both models
EPSILON This is the value of the dielectric constant for the solvent medium.
The default value is 80.
CUTAlpha This is a maximum value for the effective Alpha for any atom
during the calculation for a particular conformation of the
biomolecule. It is necessary because in some instances the
expression above for Alpha(i) can take on negative values
of numerical problems with the expression for very buried atoms
in large globular biopolymers. The default for this value is
10^6.
WEIGht This is a flag to specify that you want the vdW radii for the
atoms to be taken from the wmain array instead of the parameter
files (from Rmin values). The default is to use the parameter
values. These values are used for the R(i) and V(i) noted above.
ANALysis This flag turns on an analysis key that puts the atomic contributions
to the Generalized Born solvation energy into an atom array (GBATom)
for use through the scalar commands.
CLEAr Clear all arrays and logical flags used in Generalized Born
calculation.
FEP calculations with the original Still model
GBTYpe GBTYpe permits GB energy calculation with block module.
Environmental atoms should be assigned to block 1. The variable
parts are assigned to blocks n (n > 1).
GB energy in the intermediate state can be expressed in two ways.
Therefore, we can choose type 1 or 2. In common, Type 1 is
computationally inexpensive and extensible. In particular,
the computational time increases rapidly with GBTYpe=2 as
the number of blocks increases. When GBYTyp is used, block command
also should be used.
Note: GBTYpe allows the use of GB energy with FEP calculations
(BLOCK module), lambda-dynamics method, hybrid-MC/MD, and replica.
Typical input examples can be found in testcase of Version 28.
The definintions of Type 1 and 2 are shown next.

Do a minimization (could be dynamics too, forces are computed exactly)
! Finally minimize for 1000 steps using SD w/ all energy terms.

converges quickly as a function of cutoff
Example (4)
-----------
Use of GB term with MMFF and CFF forcefields in CHARMM.
1. Make sure CHARMM was compiled with CFF and/or MMFF keywords.
2. Commands are the same as above and may be used as with the CHARMM
forcefields.
3. Parameters for these systems are given below, taken from testcases
in c27test/GB_*.inp
