Greetings dear Gromacs users,

I would like to create a membrane-protein simulations (popc + protein, water, Na Cl ions, using Berendsen thermostat) and I am not sure which coupling-groups I should use.
For example, why not couple the whole system together?

I do realize that this is a large request on this type of mailing list. I will also be happy to receive references to relevant literature.

Most reports in the literature describe protein, lipids, and solvent+ions in separate groups. The reasons for not coupling the whole system together are well-documented, and as a matter of fact, I just updated the Gromacs wiki this weekend to point to several papers describing this phenomenon:

There are also numerous threads in the list archive on this topic, likely with other references that I did not link.

Thanks in advance,
-Shay
