Re: [AMBER] MD simulations for POPC membrane

My simulation system includes a protein and a membrane. I want to
investigate the dynamics of the protein with the presence of a membrane.

I used FF14SB for the protein and LIPID17 for the membrane. During the
equilibrium step, I first restrained the solute and simulated the water at
300K, then I heated up the whole system from low T to reach the RT without
restraint. Appropriate Na and Cl ions were added to neutralize the system.

The equ and production MD runs are in the explicit solvent model.

Please let me know if additional info is needed. I would be happy to
provide.

Thanks.
