[gmx-users] DPPC-DOTAP Mixed Lipid Bilayer

Hi Dr. Wassenaar,

Thanks a lot for offering help to create DPPC-DOTAP bilayer model.

I have gone through the research paper on insane method. 

I understand that I may be able to create DOTAP template by taking the fatty acids and linkers from DOPC lipid template and link them with NC3 head group.

But I don’t know whether this is correct or how to execute this in insane.py.

Could you please guid me through the process of creating the template?

Thanks,

Nidhin Thomas
