[gmx-users] how to create a proper box size for a membrane?

[Ricardo O. S. Soares]

Hello Tsjerk,

Thanks for your reply!

I have take into account PBC for this system. In this case what procedure do I have to add it in the making of the membrane?
Is the best way to do it with one POPC residue and then multiplying into a bilayer with genconf or to download a  "membrane.pdb" and edit its size?
Don't know if its relevant here, but I intend to use Charmm27.

Thanks again,

Ricardo.
