Hello gmx-users!
I want to simulate a membrane protein, where it sets across the membrane
(means that some of the protein's region lays outside the membrane and is
water exposed). Obviously, the protein will be experiencing two different
environments like membrane and water (heterogeneous condition) during the
simulation.
Will it please be recommended to follow the* Justin tutorial *for membrane
protein simulation (
http://www.bevanlab.biochem.vt.edu/Pages/Personal/justin/gmx-tutorials/membrane_protein/index.html)
or I should make some modifications to this tutorial? Also, please suggest
In your case, don't center the protein to coincide with the center of the
membrane (you'll have to figure out how it needs to be positioned). The force
field combination in that tutorial is also really outdated and better force
fields exist. The tutorial remains as is because it is a useful illustration of
possible methods to build such systems and how force field files are organized.
That doesn't mean you should do exactly as it does for your real scientific work.
me whether this kind of simulation in heterogeneous condition is worth
enough to get reliable data or not?
People do simulations like this all the time. They generally need to be very
long (hundreds of ns) to capture both protein and lipid dynamics.
