[gmx-users] Embedding Protein into lipid bilayer

[Catarina A. Carvalheda dos Santos]

You can also use g_membed (a GROMACS tool) for the protein insertion. In
the latest GROMACS versions g_membed is part of the mdrun tool (-membed
flag). The reference is Wolf_2010_JC
<http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jcc.21507/full>

g_membed is easily combined with LAMBADA as well.
