Dear Martini-users

I wanted to transform a snapshot of my atomistic DPPG/water bilayer to the CG format. However, I found martinize.py script does not transform lipid or waters to coarse-grained counterpart.It only works for protein. So, Is there any particular way I can generate the CG version of my atomistic DPPG/water bilayer ?

I guess backward scripts does the reverse of what I am trying to achieve. So, if you can suggest a way to generate a coarse-grained pdb files of the atomistic lipid bilayer/water, that will be very helpful.

Hi Jaganath,

The backward.py script also does precisely what you want. Just set the -from flag to
"martini" and the -to flag to your atomistic force field (assuming you have all the needed mapping files).

Hello mnmelo,
Thanks for the answer. Can you please elaborate more about atomic to cg conversion using backword.py
1. Where does we define mapping. How to create that file manually. I remember older version of gromacs had [mapping] column in topology file. Can we do similar thing in backword.py
2. If we want to assign desired bead manually and don't need it to be done automatically. How to do it.
3. Can you please give example command about running backward.py
from your above answer, is it like
python backward.py -f atomistic.gro -o cg.gro -from martini -to ?
how to set force field as you mentioned?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Jagannath,

please make sure to follow this tutorial first:

www.cgmartini.nl/index.php/tutorials-gen...tion/others#Backward

It mostly covers all the questions you raised (the mapping files, the commands, etc.). However, you will then have to apply it in reverse (so switching the two flags, as suggested by Manel; again, you can find an example of complete command in the tutorial). Let us know if you still have more questions after the tutorial.
