Re: [AMBER] is there any tutorial for membrane protein simulations for Amber 12?

As a quick follow-up question to this discussion (since the publication is
not yet out and I can't find this detail in the manual): does the new
lipid11 forcefield get things right without the need for constant surface
tension modifications? My understanding has been that at the moment only
the CHARMM36 forcefield can be used with lipids without this rather suspect
modification and still get the right densities, but I'm hoping that Lipid11
also has this property.

Thanks,
