mbuild_bilayer
A bilayer building plugin for mBuild.
Usage:
mbuild.recipes.Bilayer()
:
Arguments:
-
lipids : list
List of tuples in format
(lipid, frac)
where frac is the fraction of that lipid in the bilayer (lipid is a Compound) -
ref_atoms : int
Indices of the atom in lipids to form the interface, one for each lipid in lipids (i.e., this atom is shifted to the 'interface' level)
-
n_lipids_x : int
Number of lipids in the x-direction per layer.
-
n_lipids_y : int
Number of lipids in the y-direction per layer.
-
area_per_lipid : float
Area per lipid.
-
solvent : Compound
Compound to solvate the bilayer with. Typically, a pre-equilibrated box of solvent.
-
lipid_box : mb.Box, optional
A mb.Box containing the lipids where no solvent will be added.
-
spacing_z : float, optional
Amount of space to add between opposing monolayers.
-
solvent_per_lipid : int, optional, default=None
Number of solvent molecules per lipid
-
n_solvent : int, optional, default=None
Total number of solvent molecules.
-
tilt: float, optional, default=None
Tilt angle relative to the bilayer normal to prescribe to lipids. Units are radians.
-
random_seed : int, optional, default=12345
Seed for random number generator for filling in lipids.
-
mirror : bool, optional, default=True
Make top and bottom layers mirrors of each other.
