[gmx-users] Which Lipid Bilayer for GPCR Simulations

[Akshay Patny]

Dear All

 

I am trying to simulate a class A GPCR model in presence of a lipid bilayer.
For that, I am trying to prepare my initial system consisting of Protein +
Pre-hydrated Lipid bilayer + Counter-ions.

 

Since I would be using GROMACS 3.3.1, I am planning to use the pre-hydrated
lipid bilayer available through Prof. Peter Tieleman's website:
http://moose.bio.ucalgary.ca/index.php?page=Structures_and_Topologies 

 

I am curious what kind of bilayer should I use out of DPPC, DMPC, POPC
available? Does some lipid bilayer provide certain advantages over others
for simulation of GPCRs?

 

I appreciate any suggestions regarding the same.

 

Regards

Akshay
