Hi there,
Thanks for telling how to calculate the area per lipid. But at the same time if I want to draw a plot of area per lipid vs time then how can I proceed? Any gromacs tool comes out which I can use? thanks
You can obviously plot the box dimensions as function of time as suggested by Justin and then multiply the X and Y component (if the membrane is in the xy plan) and divide
by the number of lipid per leaflet ...


No. As I said in my previous message, you will have to come up with some script (or use some other software) to multiply those box vectors and divide by the # of lipids per leaflet. You can then plot those derived data.

Plot the relevant box vectors from the .edr file (g_energy). You then have to come up with your own way to multiply these values (to get the total lateral area) and divide by the # of lipids per leaflet. A simple Perl script should do the trick.
