You can find my paper on Langmuir vol 24, Issue 10, pages 5422-5432 2008, I 
have made two bicelle samples experimentally, and now i want to model those two 
bicelles theorically to connect the theory with the NMR experimental data. I 
have euilibrated a dmpc bilayer in OPLS-BERGER force field already, but 
confused about the incorporation of chaps since it is not a bilayer component. 
I have 128 lipid square bilayer. Is it possible to model such a bilayer that 
will have chaps at the edge from this force field or may i use the coarse grain 
model to build it? can you suggest anything?


Conceivably, you could do either, as long as the parameters you derive are with are consistent with the original force field. It won't be easy; the structure of CHAPS has some odd functional groups to deal with, so I don't know that the existing Berger lipid parameters will be applicable, but that doesn't mean they couldn't be extended to include your molecule. As for a CG model, there are also some challenges there, as well. There is a CG topology for cholesterol online, which could serve as a starting framework for CHAPS, but applying the appropriate particles to the rest of the molecule (quaternary amine, sulfate) would require thorough evaluation of the atom types available in MARTINI.

Can you be more specific as to what you need help on? I'm familiar with a couple of these papers, and the methods sections are quite good. Files are freely available on S.J. Marrink's site, as well as a list of pertinent publications detailing their methodology.

hi all,

can someone give me information how to model a
bicelle
using gromacs? I have dmpc:chaps as the bicelle
components,
and i came to know that coarse grain model can
help me.
But, the picture is still not clear. Please
help me to
make the bicelle in gromacs.

Have you searched the web and the literature to
see if
anybody else has
done something like this?
