The Martini model, a coarse-grained force field initially developed with biomolecular simulations in mind, has found an increasing number of applications in the field of soft materials science. The model's underlying building block principle does not pose restrictions on its application beyond biomolecular systems. Here, the main applications to date of the Martini model in materials science are highlighted, and a perspective for the future developments in this field is given, particularly in light of recent developments such as the new version of the model, Martini 3.read more

Nonconverged Constraints Cause Artificial Temperature Gradients in Lipid Bilayer Simulations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that a significant temperature difference between molecule types can artificially arise in CG MD simulations with the standard Martini simulation parameters in GROMACS, and demonstrate that the underlying reason for this behavior is the presence of highly constrained moieties, such as cholesterol.
