namd-lHello everyone,
I am trying to do a MD simulation of POPC lipid membrane according to the reference. However, I am getting a strange results here.
When doing the npt, the water moleculars shrink allow the Z axes while the surface of POPC lipid change a little.
When doing a nvt,the water moleculars get an abnormal surface ( it seams the eight angles were cutoff ) still the surface of popc lipid again change a little.
Besides, I made this water box wtih VMD and simulate it with NAMD, FF Amber 99SB and GAFF.
Following are the scripts of the simulation, attantched are the pictures of both npt and nvt output coordinate.
Waiting for your replay and suggestions is greatly welcomed.
