Hi All

 

I am trying to simulate a GPCR protein belonging to the rhodopsin family
with amino acid length of 320 residues. Also, I would be using the
pre-hydrated DPPC bilayer, can somebody suggest that for a GPCR protein of
roughly 320 aa, how big DPPC bilayer would be appropriate to use e.g. 128
DPPC bilayer is available from Peter Tieleman's website
http://moose.bio.ucalgary.ca/index.php?page=Main .

 

Also, can VMD 'membrane' van generate DPPC bilayer?

 

Thanks
