[gmx-users] Doubt regarding membrane protein in POPC bilayer

[Kukol, Andreas]

Apparently the final mdrun has not worked successfully. It would be interesting to see what the system looks like after the position restraint mdrun.

Respected Sir,

Greetings from Pawan.
Thanks for all your suggestions and help.
The solvation is completed and the system is neutralized.
The position restraint mdrun and final mdrun has worked out successfully without any warnings and errors this time.
The structure after the final mdrun is not quite acceptable as the lipids have pulled apart and there is a huge gap between the two layers of the lipids. I have made the run for 5000 steps with dt = 0.002.
Any suggestions please.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,
Pawan

I will work on this and ask you if I have further doubts.
Is it fine if I use the perl code given in wiki.gromacs.org/membrane-simulations <http://wiki.gromacs.org/membrane-simulations> for solvation after the genbox step to remove extra waters from the hydrophobic part of the bilayer ?

You mean the C program or shell script at http://wiki.gromacs.org/index.php/Membrane_Simulations?  Yes, either of those should be fine.
