Hi,

Could you post the membrane PDB that you are loading into tleap? Or at least a small part of it, like the first 2-3 lipids. Also, your tleap command would be helpful.

Best,
Callum

Subject: [AMBER] tleap split lipid when it shouldn't

Dear AMBERs,

i'm hoping you're having a nice day , and wish you could help someone in need.

So i try to make a MD on a protein with a lipid bilayer structure (created with CHARMM-GUI). my lipid is only with DOPC

using charmmlipid4amber, to create a file that will change my DOPC into OL and PC.
I succed to create the prmtop file and inpcrd . but after simulation i saw that my lipid are still split into three residues and that my bilayer structure is slowly looking like a sphere when the head of the lipid will just float around with water. I know that in force field lipid14 they split DOPC into those 3 residue.

but i would like to know if there is a way to maintain those residue together for my simulation.
i already tryed some things :
-scripting my files to recreate the bond between them, by deleting TER when it's need it (but then tleap will split them again) -rename my lipid in to OL , but then the ATOM (from PC) doesn't have a type in tleap

I join this with 2 images. First one from the lipid as it should be (linked together) , and the second one when load into tleap (then using savepdb to open it in chimera again) .

I'm greatfull that you spend some times helping me.
