The reference for this particular lipid says that the _average_ area per headgroup is 0.658 +/- 0.009, not that the ending structure of the simulation will have exactly that area per lipid. There is definitely going to be some fluctuation along the trajectory, and the last frame is just a snapshot. -Justin > > Please help > > Pragya Chohan > _________________________________________________________________ > Fashion Channel : Want to know whatÂ’s the latest in the fashion world ?
