Hi all,
This question poses a question more from my curiosity than anything else.
Having worked with lipids in the past, I have just started to play around with the membrane generating function of VMD. I notice that one can create POPC or POPE membranes.
I have two questions, one for VMD users and one for NAMD users.
Will it be possible to create a membrane using DMPC in VMD at some point?
Secondly, once you've created a membrane.pdb and membrane.psf, what force field does one use to do computations? Are there CHARMM parameter and topology files out there that have POPC, POPE and DMPC molecules in them? I ask this because I've not done membrane calculations using CHARMM before.
I know some of you may yell at me for not "doing my homework" before I ask this...
