Hi all,

I want to run a simulation of a membrane protein with amphipol A8-35 polymer, similar to the work 10.1007/s00232-014-9690-8.

I have a new .itp file for A8-35 and I want to add different amounts of the A8-35 molecules randomly positioned in the simulation box, as part of the solvent.

Any idea about how to do it?

Thanks in advance

Hi Yasser,

I suggest you follow the same procedure as we describe in the bilayer self-assembling tutorial , but instead of randomly placing lipids, you randomly place your polymer.

Good luck and let us know how it goes,
Manel

Thanks!

In my case I don't have a .gro file for A8-35. I tried to run molmaker.py to convert the .itp to .gro but the script doesn't contains the martini ff.
Any idea how to convert .itp to CG .gro?

Indeed molmaker.py is the way to go. If you download the martini definition file and place it in the same directory, then pass the option
-ff martini_v2.2.itp
to molmaker.

Note that I'm linking to the Martini 2.2 version. This should be what you need, but do check if other versions suit your purpose better.
