This example shows how to put a protein (inclusion) in a
|
|
lipid bilayer mixture composed of two different lipids (DPPC and DLPC).
|
|
The DPPC lipid model is described here:

|
G. Brannigan, P.F. Philips, and F.L.H. Brown,
|
|
Physical Review E, Vol 72, 011915 (2005)
|
|
(The DLPC model is a truncated version of DPPC. Modifications discussed below.)
|
|
The protein model is described here:

|
|
--- PREREQUISITES: ---
|
|
|
|
1) This example requires the "dihedral_style fourier", which is currently
|
|
in the USER-MISC package. Build LAMMPS with this package enabled using
|
|
make yes-user-misc
|
|
before compiling LAMMPS.
|
|
(See http://lammps.sandia.gov/doc/Section_start.html#start_3 for details.)
|
|
|
|
2) This example may require additional features to be added to LAMMPS.
|
|
If LAMMPS complains about an "Invalid pair_style", then
|
|
a) download the "additional_lammps_code" from
|
|
http://moltemplate.org (upper-left corner menu)
|
|
b) unpack it
|
|
c) copy the .cpp and .h files to the src folding of your lammps installation.
|
|
d) (re)compile LAMMPS.
|
|

This example contains a coarse-grained model of a 4-helix bundle protein
|
|
inserted into a lipid bilayer (made from a mixture of DPPC and DLPC).

|
|
Here we use the "AUF2" model described in that paper.

|
As in Watson(JCP 2011), rigid bond-length constraints
|
|
have been replaced by harmonic bonds.
|
|
|
|
A truncated version of this lipid (named "DLPC") has also been added.
|
|
The bending stiffness of each lipid has been increased to compensate
|
|
for the additional disorder resulting from mixing two different types
|
|
of lipids together. (Otherwise pores appear.)
|
|
Unlike the original "DPPC" molecule model, the new "DPPC" and "DLPC" models
|
|
have not been carefully parameterized to reproduce the correct behavior in
|
|
a lipid bilayer mixture.
