    Sure, you could do all of it within a shell script that loops the
    commands and checks the printed output.


As I understood in that iterations only step with scalling by factor 0.95 and futher energy minimization must be included until desired S per lipid will be reached. Could you provide me with a small example of such script for better understanding of the syntax. I've never done unix's shell scripts before :)



I don't have one on hand, sorry. An hour or so spent with shell scripting tutorials will probably lead you to it, though.

Could you tell me where I could found experimental valuee for Area per lipid for differen cases (e.g I'll be work with large membrane proteins such as membrane receptors so i wounder to know what values of S per lipid as well as S per protein I might expect in that case)


Some are given in the tutorial, along with references. If you're a lipid that's not listed, you'll have to find such information in the literature.

Also I have a question about solvation of my membrane protein via GENBOX. I found 2 possible ways to exclude water from the insertion into membrane - Changing vdv radii for the C atoms- So i've copied vdwradii.dat to my work dirrectory and changed vdv R. How I should to define that genbox uses exactly that modified file located in my working directory instead of default vdwradii.dat? Finally how I can check that there are not waters within the membrane ? (I've tried to visualize via VMD but the overal picture is very unclear :) )



The working directory is always searched first. This is true for all Gromacs programs. Visualization is the only way to tell. Perhaps you need to render a more clear image. Simply loading the .gro file and not making any refinements to the representation is a good way to go cross-eyed :)

- Also I've found that I can Running short md to exclude those waters via hyfrophobic effect. What parametries would be opti,al for that simulation in case of KALP as well as other more larger proteins ?



The same parameters that you would use to run normal MD on such a system; there's nothing special about this procedure. Restraints would be advisable.

Thank you for your help,
