CHARMM19 did indeed have only protein parameters, but CHARMM27 isn't actually a 
protein force field, it's nucleic acids :)  CHARMM19 is united-atom, while all 
of the more recent versions of the force field (CHARMM22, CHARMM22+CMAP, and 
CHARMM36) are all-atom.  What people refer to as CHARMM27 includes CHARMM22 
protein parameters, so in this respect, CHARMM22 and CHARMM27 are equivalent 
with respect to proteins.

There are several versions of a script call charmm2gromacs.py floating around on 
the web.  These are designed to convert CHARMM RTF and PRM files into a suitable 
Gromacs-format force field directories.
