[gmx-users] Fw: TM protein, lipids, force field

[Itamar Kass]

Shalom,

In the lab I work in, we use DMPC and the GROMOS87 ff (see Tieleman site).

I saw that POPC is represented in the new ff (GROMOS96), so you might try it, or
build your top file using the atoms found at the ff files (as lego).

Best,
Itamar.
