Hi, While comparing to other simulations can be useful, I would argue that the real test for the combination of force field and simulation parameters is to determine if the simulated membrane properties compare well to the experimentally determined values. As long as they do this, you can

Hello, Right I guess my biggest concern was diffusion. I did in fact do 12 simulations of DPPC bilayers for 100 ns each, and still got the aforementioned APL and diffusion. When I turn off the dispersion, I get more appropriate APL and MSD values, that match other papers, even when only looking

While dispersion correction is a great idea that helps to reduce the impact of the precise choice of cutoff distance on the results, the Berger parameters (and indeed all other parameters) were not developed with the inclusion of dispersion correction and one could argue that it is thus
