dear Namd users,
I am facing a problem in membrane simulation.I did
minimization and equilibration and after production run (NPT 60ns).
I did with both dppc and popc. In both cases, first up to few ns the
structure is looking good, I observed after nearly 20 ns the bilayer was
moving up slowly. since I use periodic boundary conditions in three
directions , the water in upper leaflet comes to lower leaflet (image PBC)
and after that same thing happens to lipid also.
I checked that density of bilayer system also it is 1.0005, volume come to
constant.I look into area per lipid and order parameter, those are fine.
I can not debug where I am doing mistake.I am attaching my configuration
file below.
if anyone has solution,could you help me.
regards
subbarao kanchi.
