Dear users/developers,

I have just used insane to embed my two proteins in POPC.

Proteins topology are alright, but I see this empty space between them.

Is this normal and will be repacked or I am missing something?

By the looks of it, you have a large bilayer. Unless you have a very specific reason for having a certain amount lipids/protein, I doubt it will matter as the bilayer will contract almost instantly during equilibration.

Hi Tarsis,

Add the option -ring to your command line.
That is a bit of an oddity; the default for proteins was to exclude the inner space from placement of lipids, to embed pore forming structures. The -ring option was added to allow placing lipids inside ring like structures. The same is needed for separated proteins, but the option was not renamed.

Cheers,

Tsjerk

Thanks Tsjerk,

I initially had 5 proteins to embed on that membrane, just reduced to 2 to troubleshoot. that's why the membrane size.

Many thanks -ring worked.
