Hello All,

I have a quick question about building a membrane in general.
Apparently, the "membrane builder" module in VMD offers only 2 types of
lipid. CHARMM-GUI offers a bit more, but that's limited to 6 as well.

So, if I want to build a membrane of an arbitrary lipid, what would be
the best way to proceed?

The quick and dirty method would be to start from a PDB file of a single
molecule and make an array of it, but I feel like I will encounter a lot
of bugs this way. Is this how the Membrane Builder module works?

Thanks,

V
