[gmx-users] Building a box pure solvent with genbox for CG simulations

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Stephane,

martinize.py was written to convert proteins. But you can just take
C2+C5+C8 from atomistic decane and energy minimize against the martini
topology and you'll be fine.

Cheers,

Tsjerk

This atoms C1, C2 and C3 are placed according the geometry given in the martini_v2.0_solvents.itp file (i.e distance between beads of 4.7 A and angle of 180o). With this command, only the first atom of the DEC molecule is added in the box.
