[gmx-users] Berger lipid

[Shima Arasteh]

Thanks.
Yes, you told me this before CHARMM36 is better than CHARMM27. But I'm afraid of using  C36. Because I think it's a newer FF and and less studies have done by it. Then if I face a problem, I can't find a way through articles! 

Don't you think so?

 
Sincerely,
Shima

No, these are different force fields entirely.  The CHARMM36 parameter set is 
better for lipids than CHARMM27.
