[gmx-users] Ion conduction through a protein-membrane system

 Dear users, I want to study ion conduction through a protein-memrane system. First of all, I tried to simulate a usual protein-membrane system. I'd like to know if it is possible to add asymmetrical number of ions to leaflets of membrane? Secondly, is it possible to  apply an external

A pdb file with a resid exceeds the proper PDB format. You can resolvate a dry lipid bilayer using genbox fine; I don't know what problem you have with the solvation and minimization using that method, http://manual.gromacs.org/current/online/genbox.html You can also pdb2gmx or editconf
