Hi All,

I would like to announce the availability of a new program developed within our lab for membrane analysis, which we have named GridMAT-MD. The program measures bilayer thickness across the membrane, projected in the plane of the bilayer, as well as area per lipid. The program *does* account for the presence of membrane proteins.

The algorithm and validation have been accepted by the Journal of Computational Chemistry, and the article is now in press, although it has not yet appeared in electronic format online.

The program is written in Perl, and has been tested under all the major operating systems. Currently GridMAT-MD only supports the input of .gro files, but we expect to expand upon this shortly. Please feel free to download GridMAT-MD and test it; we are offering it for free under the terms and conditions of the GPL:

We ask that you fill out a simple form when you download it, mostly to satisfy our own curiosity to know how many people are downloading it.

If you have any questions about usage or if you run into any problems, please feel free to contact any of the developers, whose contact information can be found at the GridMAT-MD site. The tarball contains a PDF users' guide which should address many questions that may arise.

Thanks, and we hope you enjoy our little program.

-Justin
