# This example shows how to build a multicomponent spherical vesicle. # The lipid bilayer is composed of two different lipids (DPPC and DLPC), # The vesicle contains 120 trans-membrane protein inclusions. # # ---------------- Prerequisites: ------------------ # You must run packmol to generate the coordinates beforehand. # Afterwards, move and rename the final coordinate file to "../system.xyz" # To do this, check the README.sh file in the ../packmol_files directory. # (or follow these instructions below) # # cd ../packmol_files # packmol < step1_proteins.inp # packmol < step2_innerlayer.inp # packmol < step3_outerlayer.inp # This creates a file named "../packmol_files/step3_outerlayer.xyz" # # These steps could take a few hours (or an entire day). # # --- After you have done that, you can run moltemplate using this command: --- moltemplate.sh -xyz ../packmol_files/step3_outerlayer.xyz system.lt
