Hello,
I would like to simulate a membrane + protein system using the OPLS force field for both, the protein and the membrane. I have looked for a previous equilibrated membrane simulated using the OPLS force field, but I did not find it. Please, does anybody knows where I could find a membrane simulated with the OPLS force field?

I've never seen one either. The Berger parameters (commonly used) are based in part on OPLS parameters, and as such, Chris Neale has posted a nice procedure for modifying the Berger parameters (present at Tieleman's site as lipid.itp) such that they can be used in conjunction with an OPLS representation of your protein:

Recent literature (from Tieleman's group) has suggested that this is a more accurate representation of protein-lipid interactions than the classic Gromos+Berger representation that is quite common in the literature.

If you're desperate for an OPLS bilayer, you may have to generate it yourself.

Thank you very much for your help.
