Internal pressure of a formed lipid vesicle

Hi everyone,

I have several formed lipid vesicles with different sizes. I wonder how to calculate the internal pressure of these formed vesicles. Thank you very much in advance.

Best,

Hi, teabo! I want to simulate the vesicle system, but i have no idea about how to build the vesicle. So can you give me some instructions about it? Thanks a lot.

CHARMM-GUI has a Vesicle Maker that can create Martini models of lipid vesicles for Gromacs.

Hi Casea,

As Milosz mentioned, yes using Charmm-gui module you can “pre-form” lipid vesicles with different sizes. However, if you want simulate self-assembly process, then you can follow one of Martini tutorials setup to form vesicle (though it’s for bilayer, still work for vesicles).

Atomistic vesicles can be built with Packmol: Packmol - Initial configurations for Molecular Dynamics
