Re: area per lipid for a protein embedded membrane system

Hi,
Well in this case I may have something that can help you. It is a python
script that I have written some months ago. Unfortunaly, It works with
the MDtools python library (no longer developped), is awfully coded and
incredibly slow :-). Basically, the script projects each lipid on a grid
and count the bins filled by the projection. This tends probably to
over-estimate the area per lipid; a Voronoï tessellation would probably
be a better method.

    Hi Nicolas,
    
    What I meant is "transmembrane protein in a membrane sytem". Thank you.
