Mapping for oleic tails 18:1(9)

I would like to ask if there is a preferred atomistic MARTINI mapping for the oleic acid 18:1(9) ?
Since the "Computational Lipidomics with insane" paper the mapping for this tail group is apparently CDCC, however exact correspondence between the atoms and the beads is not fully clear, and I could not find this information in the publications about MARTINI.

Our plan is to include backmapping files for the lipids with their .itp’s but as there are so many lipids this has not happened yet. As an example of a mapping of Martini oleic tail to GROMOS united atom model I included the relevant part of a backmapping file for POPC made by Tsjerk (the second column is the AA atom names and the third the Martini bead names).

e.g. www.cgmartini.nl/index.php/force-field-p...ml?dir=PC&lipid=POPC
DPPC should also be there but not DOPC. We have the x5 bead version but have not updated it to the newer x4 beads yet - if you happen to make the DOPC x4 bead mapping file and willing to share put your name on top of the file and send to us then we can add it to the website.

As I've mentioned earlier, we were interested in the FA to CG mapping, and tried to use backward.py to do it. However, we could not independently reproduce its results. After some looking into the problem, we found the reason. The subroutine "average", which calculates the averaged position of the atoms to obtain the coordinates of the corresponding bead, sometimes does not get the correct masses:
line 39 of __init__.py: mxyz = [(_mass.get(i[0][0],1),i[4],i[5],i[6]) for i in a if i]
Now, i[0][0] returns the first symbol of the atom's name, which is the column 13 of the pdb file. Sometimes the name of the atom is four symbols long, and then i[0][0] gives the correct chemical symbol for it. However, sometimes the atom's name is shorter and starts from the column 14, and then i[0][0] gives the blank character ' ', whose mass is assumed to be 1 (the mass of hydrogen) by the script's code _mass.get(i[0][0],1) This is probably not the expected behavior, but since we aren't very familiar with python scripting, and aren't 100% sure, we cannot correct this ourselves. Should we report this somewhere else?
As for the DOPC mapping, I've sent the file to your rug.nl e-mail adress that was listed on the website.

I have a question: How did you produce the DOPC AA topology?

I'm not sure if the question is about AA topology or mapping. The AA topology is standard for CHARMM36. For mapping, I took the POPC file (available here www.cgmartini.nl/index.php/force-field-p...ml?dir=PC&lipid=POPC ) as a template and copied the oleoil mapping for the DOPC's second chain (C1B-D2B-C3B-C4B) from that of POPC's first chain (C1A-D2A-C3A-C4A). So, the mappings for both DOPC oleoils are assumed to be the same, and identical to the mapping of POPC's oleoil

thank you pbuslaev, that was the answer I was looking for.
I am still not sure why in the CHARMM36 file the H-atom of the C10 is part of the D2 bead but the C10 atom itself is in the C3 bead.
What column corresponds to the CG beads?
As for the Gromos file: why is the double bond between C7 and C8 and not C9 and C10?
Thank you again for your help.

Regarding the gromos file, position of the double bond is defined in the force field topology file and not in the backward.py mapping file. The comment in the backward.py mapping file probably highlights the fact that atoms of the double bond dihedral angle definition are situated below - but it is better to ask the author of the file.
