If you Boltzmann invert the rdfs you effectively turn the  MARTINI
potential into structure-based potential, don't do that.

Just use the force-field parameters from the MARTINI force field. In
the spce/tf example we use a setup, which combined the standard spce
force field with a course-grained one.
You will have to do something similar.

Mixing structure-based and a free-energy based approaches sounds
strange to me, it like mixing Steak and Ice cream, both are delicious
by themselves, but together?

On a side note, you could do a 4:1 mapping with IBI as well, if you
have the rdf.
