Dear Dr.justin
Thank you.You are right.
I did what you said.

please let me know the answer of my other question in first email:
I am doing iteration more than 26 times that you said in your tutorial.
I am in 28th step now and my area per lipid is 63 and I think it is lowering everytimes I do iteration.
In the other words it seems it dosen't converge!!

It won't. InflateGRO does what you tell it. If you keep squishing the lipids, it will happily create an unstable system. You have to know when to stop.

What do you think?
Thanks in advance

        Dear Dr.Justin
        Yes,I know,it deleted some lipids according to inflateGRO script
        in the first timethat I used perl command.
        Besides:
        I did iteration 25 times correctly,and no addition or doubling
        was occured.
        I used the same commands of  25th iteration.of course I changed
        numberes from 25 to 26 in commands.
        I think it is because I have compacted my lipids more than it is
        required.


    Over-packing your lipids will not cause your coordinate file to
    magically be doubled.


        my commands are as below:
        after doing EM for output of 25th iteration(its output were
        EM-inflate-26.*) I entered :

trjconv -f EM-inflate-26.trr -s EM-inflate-26.tpr -o EM-inflate-26-trj.gro -pbc mol -ur compact


    Here's the problem.  You're converting a .trr (which presumably has
    2 frames) and converting it to a multi-frame .gro file.  All you
    need is to fix the PBC on the final frame, i.e. the .gro file that
    mdrun writes.

    -Justin

perl inflategro EM-inflate-26-trj.gro 0.95 DPPC 0 system_shrink26.gro 5 area_shrink26.dat grompp -f minim-strong.mdp -c system_shrink26.gro -p topol.top -o EM-inflate-27.tpr

        thanks in advance for your reply

               Dear all

               I am doing Membrane -protein tutorial.
               Actually I did each step carefully,I could score down my
        lipids
               26 times.
               But there were two problems:
               1-I get ~77 A for area per lipid in 26th step not 71 as
               Dr.Justin has said
               2-I tried to do more iteration to make closer my area per
        lipid
               to 71,But I get the following error:
               Program grompp, VERSION 4.0.7
               Source code file: ../../../../src/kernel/grompp.c, line: 362

               Fatal error:
               number of coordinates in coordinate file
        (system_shrink26.gro,
               12876)
                           does not match topology (topol.top, 6438)

               I checked and I found program has added some additional DPPC
               molecules to my system!!


           InflateGRO does not add lipids, it deletes them.  Whatever you've
           done has exactly doubled the system.  You've managed to
        concatenate
           coordinate files or otherwise manipulate it in some
        nonsensical way.
            Without seeing the command you used it's impossible to say.

           -Justin


               Besides I get 32 A area per lipid for this step!!!

               Please let me know what is the reason.
               Thanks in advance
