Hi Francesco,
Just to add to whatever help you got already:
for an rbcg bilayer, take an equilibrated all-atom bilayer, and
convert it to rbcg. If you want to be extra careful, then you can
solvate the result with rbcg water and use rbcg simulation to
equilibrate the bilayer further.
For sbcg, there's no direct conversion available, but it's not
necessary, because the model is extremely simple - just two beads
connected by a spring make one "molecule", and a bunch of such
molecules constitute a leaflet. So if you need an sbcg bilayer, it's
very simple to just create a pdb with such molecules by hand. You cna
put those sbcg "molecules" uniformly distributed in the bilayer, and
then equilibrate them with sbcg simulations.
Anton.
