[gmx-users] membrane protein md using gromacs

[Itamar Kass]

Shalom Rob,
    Try to look at the gromacs site (http://www.gromacs.org/ 
contributions/index.php) look for a file named mdrun_make_hole.tar.gz  
which is used as a modifier of gromacs 3.1.4.  This enable GROMACS to  
make a hole in a membrane based on the inserted protein surface (you  
also need msms).
    The protocol is based on Faraldo-Gomez, J. D., Smith, G. R., and  
Sansom, M. S. (2002). Setting up and optimization of membrane protein  
simulations. European Biophysics Journal 31(3), 217-227.
                      Itamar.
