[gmx-users] Berger lipid

[Shima Arasteh]

Yes, I have studied the article by Jeffery B. Klauda and other articles related to C36. And know where the parameters of CHARMM36 were derived. 

By the way, when I search the lipidbook to find the .itp file I can't find it! What about the lipid .itp ? Is it required yet? ( in your tutorial it's written "lipid.itp - Berger lipid parameters" )

Sincerely,
Shima

CHARMM36 was developed by the core CHARMM developers and I have no reason to doubt it.  If there was ever a group to develop good CHARMM parameters, it's them :)

Simply being "newer" is not a reason to doubt it.  Have you read the paper where the parameters were derived?  The reproduction of experimental observables is quite good.  Ultimately, the choice is yours, but be ready to justify that choice to a skeptical audience (reviewers).
