Hi James,
The bilayers from the CHARMM-GUI can be converted into any force field
using a simple script. For a united-atom force field you will need to
remove the non-polar hydrogens, rename the atoms and possibly reorder
some of the atoms in the lipids.
As for other methods to build membrane
Hi,
packmol generates just coordinates (pdb format) for optimized packing
arrangements of whatever molecule you provide as input. It's up to you
to parameterize the resulting model. CHARMM-GUI has a library of
conventional (phospho)lipids and generates the input for CHARMM
equilibration of th
Dear Felipe,
thanks for advise. Does the Packmol software suitable for generation
coordinates of the bergers ( for gromos 56 ff) lipids ? As I know
CHARMM-GUI membrane builder is suitable for only CHARMM force field
lipids.

To generate starting (non-equilibrated) bilayer structures for use in MD
simulations take a look at http://www.ime.unicamp.br/~martinez/packmol/.
Otherwise, for conventional lipids CHARMM-GUI membrane builder

lastly, is there any other ways to obtain bilayers of desired
dimensions started from just one lipid oriented in desired way for
instance?

Sounds dangerous to me. Here's a possible methods section from your paper:

Hi,
The easiest solution is probably to write a script that reorders the
structure file (gro for example, just swap the lines in each lipid, and
use "editconf -f file.gro -resnr 1" to renumber) the way it is written
in the topology.
Cheers

Thanks for advise.
I've found already pre-equilibrated POPC bilayers with 200 lipids. I've
examined that lipids and found that they are very similar to the berger's

lipid is slightly different than in Tieleman's popc
Either use genbox -cs popc128b.gro or genconf -f popc128b.gro -nbox x y 0
Tieleman's lipids require you to generate a dummy tpr for use with trjconv
to unwrap the pbc (trjconv -s em.tpr -f popc128b.pdb -o popc128b-nopbc.gro
-pbc mol -ur compact) first.
