[gmx-users] Fwd: removing some atoms

[João Martins]

There are some automated tools for membrane insertion that you can probably
modify for you use, but I would probably just try a manual insertion
followed by a long equilibration. For the membrane insertion you have this
tutorial which uses InflateGRO:

http://www.bevanlab.biochem.vt.edu/Pages/Personal/justin/gmx-tutorials/membrane_protein/index.html

Like I said, for this specific case I would probably do it manually,
probably with Pymol. You can load both structures, and move the protein to
the desired position using the editing mode. Then, delete overlapping oil
atoms and save the structure.

Best regards,
João Martins
