Well, it's easy to test. The membrane properties that are expected to be
observed are very easy to quantify. We didn't test our CHARMM36 port with
virtual sites at all, so we cannot recommend such usage. Test thoroughly before
doing any real production work. Membranes are extremely sensitive to alteration.
