I think it is probably worth emphasizing a point I have made previously, because 
I suspect there may be some confusion among the users out there.  The tarball 
that can be downloaded from the website contains updated parameters for CHARMM36 
lipids ONLY.  The parameters in that distribution have outdated CHARMM22+CMAP 
parameters for proteins and CHARMM27 for nucleic acids (i.e. the files 
distributed as "charmm27.ff" in Gromacs).  Users should not be led to believe 
that this tarball contains the full CHARMM36 force field, which is a different 
entity, available only from the MacKerell lab (note we will be uploading a new 
tarball soon that has updated parameters for CGenFF 2b8).
