[gmx-users] pcoupltype

[Kevin Boyd]

Hi,

For membrane systems you typically want to use semi-isotropic pressure
coupling. If instead you want to simulate *one* lipid (as a ligand) with a
protein in solution, you should stick to isotropic pressure coupling. I've
never heard of any anisotropic pressure coupling protocols in equilibrium
NPT systems like what you describe.
