GridMAT-MD: a grid-based membrane analysis tool for use with molecular dynamics.

William J Allen, Justin A Lemkul, and David R Bevan

J Comput Chem 30(12):1952-8 (2009) PMID 19090582

GridMAT-MD is a new program developed to aid in the analysis of lipid bilayers from molecular dynamics simulations. It reads a GROMACS coordinate file and generates two types of data: a two-dimensional contour plot depicting membrane thickness, and a polygon-based tessellation of the individual lipid headgroups. GridMAT-MD can also account for proteins or small molecules within the headgroups of the lipids, closely approximating their occupied lateral area. The program requires no installation, is fast, and is freely available.

    We used the software GRAMM, HEX, and MACRODOX to build the protein complex with further evaluation by GROMACS potential. After molecular mechanics refinement by GROMACS the protein complexes were evaluated in terms of the following criteria: Hydrophobic packing, proximity of the hemes, hydrogen bond...

    We generated five models using the Modeller default routine in which initial coordinates are randomized and evaluated by pseudo-energy parameters. The protein models were validated using PROCHECK and energy minimized using the steepest descent method in GROMACS 3.2 (flexible SPC water model in cubic...
