Hi all,
  This may be a trivial question
    I want to calculate "time evolution of area per lipid"
The steps I have done are
1. Extracted BoxX and BoxY values of 5ns_popc.edr by using g_energy command. 2. I have written code for calculating area per lipid in way that boxX multiply with boxY divided by 64
3. I have got the plot in this way
**0 to 1000ps ---- started the value 0.609678 nm^2/N ended with 0.642679(shows high peak) **then 1000 to 4000ps shows silght variation with 0.64 value( nearly straight line) **at 4000ps the value increased to 0.653465 ( high peak) from there it reduced again to 0.647856 I want to ask you that the way values are got correct? and suggest me some articles regarding area per lipid


Your calculations seem reasonable, and you could also concatenate your trajectories to get one continuous plot to make things simpler. The value seems about right for POPC, but it's been a while since I checked the exact number.

As far as literature goes, a simple Google search will turn up lots of useful results. And if you're using the lipid parameters from Tieleman's site, his publication list is a good place to start.

Thanks for your aprreciation.
