@Michael: Yes, you are right, a protein is a protein. IIRC the martinize
script does the same as pdb2gmx in this case.
@James: It really sounds like you want to do DAFT.
http://www.biotechnik.nat.uni-erlangen.de/research/boeckmann/downloads/DAFT/index.shtml
seems to contain an tutorial. Otherwise, consider contacting the author of
the paper (T Wassenaar).
