PRIMO Module of CHARMM
Recently developed PRIMO model(proteins2010, 78:1266) consists of interaction
sites made up of one to three atoms. The recontruction from PRIMO to atomistic
phase is based on analytic relations based on the standard bonding geometries
observed in atomistic models.
Since PRIMO energy surface is smoother compared to the rugged one of atomistic
phase, coarse-grained conformations are tolerant of small local[bond/angle]
deformations which are forbidden in atomistic phase. This is a serious issue,
since the analytic reconstruction would not guarantee good energetic structure
in atomisitic phase. To alleviate this issue, a serious of virtual atoms are
constructed and used to restrict the sampling of coarse-grained particles.
Three types of virtual atoms(vs1,vs2,vs3) are supported as sketched below.

Here [1],[2],[3],[4],[5] are the coarse-grained(CG) sites. Virtual site vs1 is
constructed using the bond distance vs1-[1], angle vs1-[1]-[2] and dihedral
vs1-[1]-[2]-[3]. Virtual site vs2 is constructed using bond vs2-[3], angle
vs2-[3]-[1] and dihedral vs2-[3]-[4]-vs1. Virtual site vs3 is estimated as
2*[5]-vs2.
Harmonic distance and angle potential involving virtual sites are supported.

Example (2)
Maintain the planarity of phe by applying an angle term between SC1,
virtual-CG atom and SC2 particles. Apply the potential every 5th md step

Example (3)
The above task could also be accomplished by using a distance potential between
virtual-CB and SC1/SC2 atoms of phe.

sele (resname phe .and. (atom * * SC2 .or. atom * * SC3) ) end -
kdt2 30.0 mnd2 3.814
In all the cases the value of spring constant, must be carefully chosen as not
to adversely affect the CG conformational sampling.
Application of PRIMO module as residual PRIMO force field terms is given in
