Dear Justin Thank you for your Previous reply,
I
am following your Protein -Lipid tutorial . I am doing simulation of Assembly
of Cyclic Peptide
( Made up of Only Phenyl alanine Residue) in DPPC lipid . After I have Attained
suitable APL (69 A^2) I solvated, neutralized (using genion) & EMzed .
Finally I Have Done NVT equilibration Using Restraint on all atoms of Lipid
Molecules . At the End of My simulation I Have observed some of water molecules
(60 water Molecules ) in Hydrophobic Part of Lipid Molecules (Amidst of Assembly
of cyclic peptide)
How to Avoid this ?
Should Further Shrink APL using Perl And Then Proceeding NVT Equilibration ?
It doesn't make any sense to me to restrain all atoms of the lipids. I would,
at minimum, run NVT with no restraints on the lipids, and perhaps add a vertical
restraint on water O atoms to prevent them from leaking into the membrane during
the initial equilibration. Then equilibrate again for a longer time with no
restraints on either water or lipids.
