[gmx-users] area per lipid

[pragya chohan]

Hi 
 
I have read the reference quoted there and they have given the time evolution of area per head-group to decrease and become constant near that value (including last snapshot). 
 
Is the way described in earlier post correct? According to what I have seen, the structure at peter tieleman's site also has dimensions around 62-63 angstoms and average area per lipid is qouted by them is also around the same.
 
the value of box-x and box-y i got from g_energy is also fluctuating b/w 6.2-6.3 nm. I want to see time evolution of area per lipid?
 
I want to show that the bilayer model satisfies all the experimental results before going further.
 
Any suggestion is welcome.
