How would I know what coordinate file to use? I have been following the tutorial word for word. However, I did not get the confout.gro file that I should have gotten after the minimization (mdrun -v -deffnm em) so I have been using em.gro. Would this be a problem? ________________________________ From: Justin A.

Something is wrong here. You should only have 126 lipids since 2 were removed before.

This is also strange. This, coupled with the lines above regarding the number of lipids, suggest you're using the wrong coordinate file. > Writing scaled bilayer& centered protein... > > > Calculating Area per lipid... > Protein X-min/max: 10000 -9999 > Protein Y-min/max: 10000 -9999 > X-range: -19999 A Y-range: -19999 A > Building -19999 X -19999 2D grid on protein coordinates... > Calculating area occupied by protein.. > full TMD.. > upper TMD.. > lower TMD..

Hmmmm.... OK, I seem to remember 124 being what my system produced, but that's irrelevant. Check out the lines above. > Erica > > ________________________________ > From: Justin A.
