2008-08-05 Thread Chris Neale
Sorry for my misunderstanding. You can not use standard OPLS parameters for lipids. Even if you go through the paramaterization process (see the gromace wiki and the original OPLS papers) then you are still stuck with the fact that standard acyl chain parameters fail when they get too long. I

There is no such thing as an OPLS bilayer. The method that was specified to combine the opls-PROTEIN and berger-LIPIDS is currently the only way that one can do this combination exactly. What this means, is that if you simulate a bilayer using the files downloaded from Peter Tieleman's website
