[gmx-users] membrane protein simulation

Hi Brett,

So apart from the curvature of the membrane, there maybe the situation that
there's just more of the protein in one leaflet than in the other. You'll
need to account for that when embedding. Membrane builders typically check
for overlaps to take care of this.

Cheers,

Tsjerk
