[gmx-users] Simulating protein-lipid interactions

[Smith, Micholas D.]

Mixing force-fields is generally considered a bad idea. Though there are some papers where people do mix the force-fields,  these are limited cases and typically require substantial validation against experimental data and additional tuning of the resulting mixed force-field.

Subject: [gmx-users] Simulating protein-lipid interactions

Dear Gromacs users,



I want to simulate the interaction of a protein and a lipid. For the protein simulation I have chosen the CHARMM27 force field, because is the one I had selected for the lipid simulation. Does the force field have to be the same for both molecules? How I select the best force field for the protein? Where can I find information about force fields?





Any help will highly been appreciated.



Best,
