Hi everyone!

I have a question of the dihedrals of DPPC [1]. The .tip files only contain bonds and angles, does it mean the dihedrals of DPPC don't need to be considered? e.g. the dihedral of atoms No.2 ~No. 5.

Thank you very much!

Tim

Hi Tim,

The Martini philosophy is to keep the models as simple as possible. So, yes, most lipids have no dihedrals.
