Hi all,
I'm interested in performing MD simulations of membrane proteins in an
explicit water/lipid bilayer environment using AMBER. I guess some of you
are working in this field, so I have some questions for you...
In AMBER distributions and home page, I have only seen mention to lipid
bilayers in one of the examples for roar, where DLPE
(dilauroylphosphatidylethanolamine) is used, with the associated DLP
residue type. However, I haven't found any reference to this residue type
in the parameter files. I guess people also use other models for the lipid
bilayer (DPPC, POPC,...), so my question is obvious... are parameters for
these phospholipids available anywhere?
I have read that united-atom force-fields are quite common for such
simulations. Is this correct? Anybody is using all-atom force-fields? If
so, are parameters available?
Finally, I would like to keep in touch and have some feedback with people
working in this field... you know, it's very hard to learn on your own
(although sometimes it's the best way) :-)
Well, as always, thank you all in advance.

Dear Colleagues,
The ACS Computers in Chemistry Division (COMP) will hold its
second annual symposium on emerging technologies at the ACS
National Meeting, Chicago, Illinois, USA, August 26-30, 2001.
Abstracts have started arriving for the "Symposium on Emerging
Computational Technologies at the 125th Anniversary of the
American Chemical Society".
A $1000 prize, generously sponsored by Schrodinger, Inc., will
be to be presented for the best talk at the symposium.
You are invited to participate. The talks will be evaluated by
a Panel of Experts based on the impact the research will have on
the future of computational chemistry and allied sciences. The
symposium will be ideal for presenting your latest and best
methodological advances.
To participate, e-mail a 1000-word (text-only) abstract to me
no later than April 9, 2001. The talks must be original and
not be repeats of talks at other ACS symposia.
Sincerely, Don
Donald B. Boyd, Ph.D.
