Create a Bilayer

If you want to create a lipid bilayer or lipid bilayer with protein for simulations, go to

http://www.charmm-gui.org/?doc=input/membrane

General Rules of Thumb for Lipid Only Systems

  • Build bilayers based on number of lipids not size
  • Unless otherwise stated make sure the number of lipids is equal for each leaflet (total and individual)
  • The minimum number of waters per lipid should be 30 waters
  • Only add neutralizing ions.
  • Setup a NPT system with P=1bar and T the desired temperature
  • Download the entire TGZ file and place this on the cluster (do not delete files as needed later)

General Rules of Thumb for Lipid+Protein Systems

  • Choose a bilayer composition under the direction of a senior student, postdoc or Dr. Klauda
  • Be careful with transmembrane proteins and placement using OPM
  • If doing peptides with HMMM, be sure to consult with Dr. Klauda
