Justin, hello!

In the algorthm presented in the tutorial there is one inconvenience that is many iterations of the shrinking/minimization of the protein ( e.g if i'd like to obrain good value for S per lipid for my structure). Is there any way to make this process automated ? ( e.g some program wich could do all of those operations untill defined value for some magnitudes would be reached )


Sure, you could do all of it within a shell script that loops the commands and checks the printed output.

Also I'd like to ask about g_membed. As I've understood for that program I need in merged pdb struture ( consist of my peptide inserted in the membrane ) as well as merged topology. Is there any way to prepare this data exept the way presented in your tutorial ? (http://www.bevanlab.biochem.vt.edu/Pages/Personal/justin/gmx-tutorials/membrane_protein/03_solvate.html )


That's what you obtain when concatenating the protein and membrane coordinate files in my tutorial, prior to any inflation. You'd just have to add whatever molecules are present in the [molecules] directive of the .top at that point.

E.g I've heard that this could also be done via PyMol. Where I could find example of such preparation ?


I don't know of one.

Thanks for your help,
James

        I'd like to simulate some membrane proteins in their native
        environment.

        Recently I've found a good tutotial of the same simulation of
        the KALP peptide in DPPC membrane
        
(http://www.bevanlab.biochem.__vt.edu/Pages/Personal/justin/__gmx-tutorials/membrane___protein/index.html
        
<http://www.bevanlab.biochem.vt.edu/Pages/Personal/justin/gmx-tutorials/membrane_protein/index.html>).

        Is there  someone who have also tried to make thit tutorial ?


    Yes, per our server logs, several hundred people have :)


        First of all its very intresting for me the positioning of the
        protein in the membrane via specific  perl script called
        infrategro. What values for the cutoff radius as well as
        measurements of  the area per lipid  are most adequate for
        different membrane proteins?


    The ones given in the tutorial work quite well.  They are the
    defaults suggested by the developers of InflateGRO.


        Could you also tell me some alternative ways of full algorithm
        of the protein insertion in the membrane?



    Careful use of genbox (but will require significantly more
    equilibration as there will be large gaps), or g_membed.
