[gmx-users] InflateGRO and pentamer protein simulation

Dear Xi Zhao,

For inserting protein into membrane you might like to try use
g_membed
(link http://wwwuser.gwdg.de/~ggroenh/membed.html)
This is not strictly (yet) a gromacs package, but it can be very  
easily be complied and used per instructions of the authors.

Technically, the package 'compress' the protein to be a linear line,  
then inserts it into the membrane and starts 'pumping' it back to the  
original size.
Hope that help,

-Shay
