hi,
Thanks for your answer. I have no parameters for those molecules, but I will
support my study on experimental measurements, which validate it.
I have read that many MD simulations, which use DSPC and DAPC for
phospholipid bilayer, are done using GROMACS or CHARMM. If you have been
already confronted to a such problem, could you advice me?
Thanks.
Yours sincerely,
Smahane CHALABI
