# Note:
#
# This example may require additional features to be added to LAMMPS. If
# LAMMPS complains about an "Invalid pair_style", then download copy the
# "additional_lammps_code" from moltemplate.org, unpack it into your LAMMPS
# "src" directory and recompile LAMMPS.
#
# -------- Description --------
#
# This example contains an implementation of the DPPC lipid bilayer described in
# G. Brannigan, P.F. Philips, and F.L.H. Brown,
# Physical Review E, Vol 72, 011915 (2005)
# and:
# M.C. Watson, E.S. Penev, P.M. Welch, and F.L.H. Brown
# J. Chem. Phys. 135, 244701 (2011)
#
# As in Watson(JCP 2011), rigid bond-length constraints have been replaced
# by harmonic bonds.
#
# A truncated version of this lipid (named "DLPC") has also been added.
# Unlike the original "DPPC" molecule model, "DLPC" has not been carefully
# parameterized to reproduce the correct behavior in a lipid bilayer mixture.
#
# Units:
#
# The "epsilon" parameter in their model is approximately 2.75 kJ/mole
# ( = 0.657265774378585 kCal/mole, using 1kCal=4.184kJ)
# The "sigma" parameter corresponds to 7.5 angstroms.

# Unfortunately, using both lj/charmm and "table" pair styles in the same
# simulation seems to be very inneficient. (The simulation is twice as slow
# as using only the "lj/charmm" pair styles for every pairwise interaction,
# ...and about 25% slower than using "table" for every pairwise interaction.
# However the lennard-jones pair styles support mixing, so we use them to
# make it easier to run these molecules with other molecules which don't use
# pair_table. I felt that portability was worth the extra 25% slow down.)
