[gmx-users] Berger lipid

[Thomas Piggot]

Hi Shima,

The lipids.rtp file in the charmm36.ff folder has many different entries 
for lipids. All you need to do is to run pdb2gmx with just one of your 
lipids of interest. This will produce a .top for this one lipid which is 
trivial to convert into an .itp (see Chapter 5 of the manual).

Cheers

Tom
