The length of the simulation does not say much ...

I am talking about the compatibility between protein and membrane force fields derived with different schemes in a mixed simulation (at the end of the day for these simulations we want an Amber-compatible lipid ff).

On the poster I saw just some calculations of the orientation of a helical peptide in the membrane. This is not enough to conclude about compatibility.

I repeat, the only thing I want is people to be careful and test this issue.

it well for protein/membrane system.
