On this page I provide several molecular configurations and force field files that may make life easier for some simulators (especially those interested in biomembranes). Note that all images and downloadable files here are copyrighted by me, David Bostick (01/10/2007). Please use them at your own risk and with proper acknowledgment of my web site and of their associated publications.

AmtB Channel in POPC bilayer. 117276 particles. Equilibrated at 298 K & 1 atm. PLoS Comp. Biol. 2007. 3(2): 0231-0246 pdb file Gromacs Format - tarzip bundle
AmtB Channel Monomer with Ammonium in the Am1 binding site. Site and structure were determined by umbrella simulations. PLoS Comp. Biol. 2007. 3(2): 0231-0246 pdb file
AmtB Channel Monomer with Ammonium in the Am5 binding site. Site and structure were determined by umbrella simulations. PLoS Comp. Biol. 2007. 3(2): 0231-0246 pdb file
§ OPLS United Atom force field for lipids. These were derived in the Berkowitz lab at UNC-Chapel Hill. So far I only have DPPC and POPC, but these are nice choices for membrane protein systems. The force field behaves nicely (in principle and practice) with the OPLS all atom force field for proteins. § J. Comp. Chem. 1999. 20: 531-545 § Gromacs Format - tarzip bundle
