There are fewer data for POPC than for DOPC and DPPC. If your force fields and methods give you good results for DOPC and DPPC, you should be in good shape for POPC, since the building blocks are the same, but just rearranged.

You'd have thought the MD papers you have would also compare values against experimental data? These papers do exist, I'm sure, I came across the all the time while looking for DOPC data - though I didn't make a note of them. Plus the people who initially parameterised the POPC topology (Tieleman?) must have compared results to experimental data.
In summary, try harder ;)

Subject: RE: [gmx-users] analysis of POPC

Thanks, but I did get some papers on the analysis done on POPC by MD but I did not get any experimental papers showing the values so that I can compare results of my MD with experimental data. If anyone happens to have such papers please send them to me at <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED]
