POPC bilayer crumples in MD simulations with default
simulation parameters, yet stays flat with frequent neighbor list
updates. (A) Snapshots of the membrane (phosphate groups in gold)
in MD simulation with default parameters. The Verlet-buffer-tolerance, which denotes the maximally allowed energy drift per particle between
neighbor list updates due to missed nonbonded interactions, was set
to VBT = 0.005 kJ·mol–1·ps–1; the outer cutoff was rl = 1.269 nm;
the number of time steps between neighbor list updates was nstlist = 25; and dual pair list was enabled. (B) Snapshots
in an MD simulation with neighbor list updates enforced at every time
step (nstlist = 1). Snapshots are at time points
50, 150, 250, and 350 ns (left to right). Simulation boxes are indicated
as blue lines, and box heights Lz are
listed.
