Well, if simple Boltzmann inversion doesn't work you might need to do
iterative Boltzmann inversion. Another reason, why the distributions are
off could be that you are mixing Boltzmann-inverted potentials with the MARTINI
force-field. Mixing structure-based and free-energy-based potential gives
unpredictable results. To check you could study a single molecule in vacuum
and compare your bonded interactions.
