PBC Corrections

PBC corrections for bilayer membranes

This application implements the model from Camley, Lerner, Pastor, and Brown, J. Chem. Phys. 143, 243113 (2015)



Water height* H (nm):
System lateral size L (nm):
Membrane viscosity ηm (Poise cm):
Water viscosity ηf (Poise):
Hydrodynamic radius R (nm):
Interleaflet coupling b (Poise/cm):
Temperature T (Kelvin):
Compute for single leaflet: peptide, monotopic protein, or lipid

N.B. All fields required; bad or missing input produces an error message page


*The total height of water in the system is 2H: if the vertical box size is Z nm, and the bilayer thickness is t, then H = (Z-t)/2.

Perform a Bayesian approach to estimating errors.
