[gmx-users] bilayer thickness 100ns membrane protein

[Stephani Macalino]

Hello,
I made sure that my protein is oriented in the z-axis using gmx editconf.
My protein has extracellular domain. After orientation, you can check the
structure if the EC domain is outside the membrane. If not, you can edit
the Z-coordinate to move it along the z-axis.
The topology file is automatically prepared by the charmm-gui.
Regards,
Stephani
