[gmx-users] Simulation of membrane protein

[James Starlight]

Justin,

The system was compact after inserting protein into bilayer (I've obtain
Area per lipid in accordanc with experimental reference) and futher
minimization (only some llipid tails on the border of the system were
distorded alittle)
But after  nvt simulation this discrepancy occured :)

I've used pbc size like in the KALP simulation because I have bilayer  (
128 lipids) and the protein (38 a.a) of the same size.
My box vectors were 6.500 6.500 6.500

Do you think that I should use smaller pbc? How I could define pbc on the
right size for my purely bilayer system?

I've used

trjconv -s em.tpr -f dmpc128.gro -o dmpc128_whole.gro -pbc mol -ur compact
at the preequilibrated bilayer and than done anything in accordance to
the KALP tutorial
