(ATTENTION! MATERIAL UPDATED!) For lipid bilayer modelling the whole toolchain was built: from creating membranes to MD trajectory analysis. We use OPLS-AA forcefield with Berger potentials for alcane dihedrals integrated.
- Addings to OPLS-AA Forcefield.
We use OPLS-AA with some includings; «includings» are overlays on the standart GROMACS forcefield files. Patch for GROMACS OPLS-AA forcefieldљ is here: lipid-patch-opls. Please unpack it into /usr/share/gromacs/top (for gmx 4.0.*) or into /usr/share/gromacs/top/oplsaa.ff/ (for gmx >4.5). - Lipid topologies
We can prepare any other lipid topology with our developed topology-preparator. We note that topology works imporperly without OPLS patch (see above).
Rebuild topolgies have modifications in OPLS patch are here:Following set of topologies contains mistakes (!!!). We are analysing and rebuilding them now.
- Ready bilayers for molecular dynamics.
