Hi Callum and Ross,
                            Than you for your reply. I did not use any
amber GPU version. I used only the amber 10 CPU version.As you both
suggested, I corrected the hydrogen mass from 1.088 to 1.088 in
GAFFlipid.frcmod file and rerun the simulation still the DMPC bilayer is
freezing at 303K. It will be great if you provide correct parameters and I
would appreciate receiving any suggestion in this regard.


With regards,
Subbarao Kanchi.
