[gmx-users] water in channel

[David L. Bostick]

I can think of 2 options:

1) There is a program called "Dowser" put out by J. Hermans' lab at
UNC-Chapel hill.  It usually works very well.

2) You can position restrain the channel and allow water and bilayer to
move freely during MD.  It should not take long for water to enter the
channel ... that is, providing that it is actually supposed to do so. Water
is probably the fastest diffusing species in your system.  You can take
advantage of this.

I want to put water in the channel and did not succeed in doing it.  Using pr simulation I did not succeed, then I tried to use genbox, but it puts water in the membrane also.
