Syntax

The following table describes the keywords and options that can be used with this action

Keyword Type Default Description
UMEMBRANE input none all the beads of the upper membrane
LMEMBRANE input none all the beads of the lower membrane
TAILS input none all the tail beads of the system
WATERS input none all the water beads of the system
PHOSPHATEOXYGENS input none all the lipid phosphateoxygens beads of the system
NSMEM compulsory none the number of slices of the membrane fusion cylinder
D compulsory none horizontal layer thickness, it depends on the Z separation of the membranes
R0 compulsory none normalization constant that makes 0 the initial value of the CV
NUMERICAL_DERIVATIVES optional false calculate the derivatives for these quantities numerically
NOPBC optional false ignore the periodic boundary conditions when calculating distances
DSMEM optional not used thickness of the slices of the membrane fusion cylinder
HMEM optional not used parameter of the step function θ(x,h) for the membrane fusion
VO optional not used beads' molecular volume
H optional not used parameter of the step function θ(x,h) for the fusion pore expansion
RMAX optional not used to avoid effects of membrane undulations in large membranes (more than 256 lipids)
XCYL optional not used X coordinate of the fixed cylinder, if not present this will be calculated
