Hello,
I have followed the bilayer-lipidome-tutorial ,but there in lipid bilayer tail part is outside and head part is inside with water.

Same bilayer shown in the link below has formed

How to solve this problem?

Think about the PBC, shift the box by 1/2 z in your mind and see if you are still surprised by the result.

@sagar: note also that the same "issue" was discussed in this other post: cgmartini.nl/index.php/component/kunena/...5677-inverse-bilayer

Thanks for your quick reply.
Could you please tell me how to shift box by z/2? Or what command we need to use to shift the box by z/2?

There are multiple way, e.g., using the Gromacs tool "gmx editconf" (see the "-translate" option).

I am using VMD for for the visualization. I dont have any idea that How to replicate the box in all directions.
Could you please help in this? I have stuck at this point for long time.

How to replicate box in VMD: www.researchgate.net/post/VMD_how_to_dis...etitive_periodic_box

Translate coordinates with "gmx_editconf": if you want to translate the bilayer along z (let's say your z is 6 nm) by z/2 (--> 3 nm), this would be the command:

gmx editconf -f bilayer.gro -translate  0  0  3.0  -o translated-bilayer.gro

I tried this one also but still not getting structure shown in the tutorial...still having the same problem. I have followed following commands for dppc bilayer..pls help

$ tar -xzvf bilayer-lipidome-tutorial-GMX5_2017Aug04.tgz

$ cd bilayer-lipidome-tutorial
$ cd spontaneous-assembly/initial_assembly

$ gmx insert-molecules -ci DPPC-em.gro -box 7.5 7.5 7.5 -nmol 128 -radius 0.21 -try 500 -o 128_noW.gro

gmx editconf -f 128_noW.gro -translate 0 0 3.75 -o translated-bilayer.gro

gmx trjconv would be more useful to treat the all trajectory at once and no need to generate new files.

try to translate the trajectory on the z direction by half the size of the z dimension (X in nm) and put the molecules back into the box:

gmx trjconv -f traj.xtc -trans 0 0 X -pbc mol -s traj.tpr -o traj_centered.xtc

Well ... your list of commands is a little confusing to be honest.

My impression is that the trjconv command I suggest should work. Not sure what is happening.

may be you should replace "-pbc mol" by "-pbc inbox". That should put the atoms in the box after translating them. Then run the "-pbc mol" on the new trajectory without translating again :)).

It could also be that running the modifications one by one could help. That is:
- first translate
- then run the pbc option, trying the mol and inbox options.

One of those combination should work.
