Dear Justin,
Please Tell me is there any possible option for inserting cr into into DPPC
bilayer.
Well, anything is possible. You'd have to define an atomtype that represents
Cr, which will involve deriving suitable LJ parameters that reproduce some
experimental observable that is in some way compatible with the underlying
theory of the lipid force field. Then you can incorporate that information into
ffnonbonded.itp and ions.itp and proceed.
As for whether or not any of that will yield a sensible simulation, I would be
highly skeptical. Additive MM force fields are not particularly adept at
dealing with highly charged ions, and transition elements are particularly
challenging because there are elements of the physics that you simply can't hope
to get right with "standard" biomolecular force fields.
