transmembrane protein modeling pt. 3

After several days of brainfucking the following system was obtained:


The membrane protein metodology, described on Bevan Lab site, recommends to perform an NVT (constant: particles number, volume and temperature) equilibration. But due to unknown reason the membrane separates into two layers looking like a sandwich (process takes 0.38 ps).






Solution: using lipid pos. restraints in z-dimension + simulated annealing 0..315 (310 is phase transition temperature for POPC) + NPT (constant number, pressure, temp.) ensemble conditions.
