Pitfalls of MARTINI

As you hopefully would agree, MARTINI can provide you with beautiful simulations that are undoable with all-atom models. However, it is good to always stay aware of the shortcomings of the model. No free lunch ! In a recent paper we discuss some of these shortcomings that result from the building block principle underlying our model (as well as other CG models). We also discuss potential remedies, providing the rationale for the improvements made in the forthcoming Martini 3.0 version. Enjoy !
