Hello,

Does anyone know if it is possible to have CHARMm simulate the effects of
an EM wave interacting with a macromolecule?  In particular, is
there a way to get CHARMm to compute the Lorentz force acting on an atom
given the wavevector, polarization, amplitude, and frequency of the wave?

Thanks very much for the help.
