Yes, and no. CHARMM implements multiple switching functions including
force shift, force switch (I think), energy switch, energy shift (I
think). They like fshift for vdw w/ PME and different "CHARMM" force
fields choose different options. There is a classic paper by Steinbach
and Brooks from mid 90's:
New spherical-cutoff methods for long-range forces in macromolecular
simulation JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY
Volume 15, Issue 7, July 1994, Pages: 667–683, Peter J. Steinbach and
Bernard R. Brooks
