I have used the "Ulmschneider lipids" quite a bit and they are working well for 
me. You can obtain them from Lipidbook, http://lipidbook.bioch.ox.ac.uk/ , in 
the browser http://lipidbook.bioch.ox.ac.uk/package/ select OPLS and Gromacs.

Specifically, POPC is http://lipidbook.bioch.ox.ac.uk/package/show/id/52.html

In the meantime you might be able to use MDAnalysis 
http://mdanalysis.googlecode.com/ and the native contact analysis in 
MDAnalysis.analysis.contacts, see 
http://packages.python.org/MDAnalysis/documentation_pages/analysis/contacts.html

(If you have questions about MDAnalysis then please ask them on that project's 
discussion group http://groups.google.com/group/mdnalysis-discussion — people 
there are more than happy to help.)

Best wishes,
Oliver

Re: [gmx-users] Obtain the flux of water

A (long) while back I wrote g_count and g_flux, which are primarily useful for 
looking at flux through pores and channels.

https://github.com/orbeckst/g_count

However, the code probably needs to be updated to properly work with the latest 
Gromacs releases. If you use it then please check carefully that the results 
are what you expect them to be (e.g. based on visual inspection). Feel free to 
report problems and fixes/patches through the Issue tracker 
https://github.com/orbeckst/g_count/issues .

Cheers,
Oliver

[gmx-users] force field parameters for lipids on lipidbook.bioch.ox.ac.uk

2010-09-18 Thread Oliver Beckstein
Hi,

readers of this list who are interested in the simulation of membranes, 
membrane proteins, micelles etc. might be interested in a new web site we 
recently set up [1]:

http://lipidbook.bioch.ox.ac.uk

It is a public repository for force field parameters with a special emphasis on 
lipids, detergents, and similar molecules that are of interest when simulating 
biological membranes. It acts as a warehouse for parameter files that are 
supplied by the community. Anyone can 

* browse and download parameters;
* deposit their own parameters; and
* comment on parameter sets.

We invite you to try it out and especially to consider uploading your own 
published parametrizations to the site: They are linked to the citation and 
users get the parameters together with a text file reminding them to cite YOU.

If you can't find what you are looking for on Lipidbook you might want to have 
a look at some other sites such as the ones in the  (probably incomplete) list 
at http://lipidbook.bioch.ox.ac.uk/package/resources.html

PLEASE do not report problems or questions about Lipidbook to the mailing list 
(people might get annoyed) but rather contact someone listed under 
http://lipidbook.bioch.ox.ac.uk/package/about.html#contact or file a problem 
with the Lipidbook Issue Tracker http://lipidbook.bioch.ox.ac.uk/trac/ . 


Many thanks for your time!
