Hi all,
   
  Iam very new to VMD, am working on Transmembrane protein (GPCR), i learnt that molecular interactions of transmembrane protein can better be understood by building a membrane, i.e simulations and docking results are more relaible when performed with membrane bound transmembrane protein.
   
  my doubt is-
   
  1. is it true that membrane building (for TM protein) would make a difference in the docking studies.
  2. If yes how to build membrane using VMD
   
  please help me in undersanding the same.
   
  Thank you in advance,
