Justin,



    I don't need the files.  I'm just trying to save you time.  If I
    want to see a coordinate file, I'll ask for it to be sent to me

Ok.
    Application of pressure causes the box to change.  The water won't
    leak in during NVT because the components of the system are trying
    to keep the box full since its dimensions are invariant. Such
    leakage is typical during equilibration, as I've said.  You should
    not be alarmed by this result.

So presence of several water molecules within the membrane after equilibration will not cause futher errors in simulation, won't it? After 1 ns MD simulation of my system I've found that some waters were excluded from the bi-layer.


It won't cause errors, per se, but it does indicate that your system is not equilibrated (nor should you expect it to be after only 1 ns). After 20 ns or so of equilibration, most membrane systems should be devoid of internal water and should be well-equilibrated.

By the way the system prepared by G_membed consisted of more water molecules within the membrane after solvation via Genbox ( I've used vdv radius of 0.5 for carbons ).

0.5 is definitely overkill; I've never obtained good results with any value greater than 0.375. Usually you'll have insufficient water to have a fully hydrated membrane.


Finally, I'd like to analyse results obtained after 1ns simulation. Firstly I want to compare some physical values of my system with the experiment. I found that I can analyse some such parametries like A per

You'll never get a good comparison.

lipid ( I've already known this experimental value) as well as *Density of the Membrane and the coefficent of the **Lateral Diffusion for Lipids. Where I could found last two experimental values for my system as well for other lipids?


Search the literature.
