Dataset for "Assessing molecular simulation for the analysis of lipid monolayer reflectometry"

Reduced neutron reflectometry dataset associated with a contrast series of DSPC (distearoyl phosphatidylcholine) at the air-water interface. Molecular dynamics simulations at four different areas per molecule are included for three different force-fields. This dataset was used in the publication "Assessing molecular simulation for the analysis of lipid monolayer reflectometry".

Documentation

Data collection method:

Within this dataset are neutron reflectometry profiles that were collected at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, specifically the SURF instrument. Also within this dataset are the trajectories and input files for the molecular dynamics simulations of the lipid monolayers that were run using the GROMACS software.

Data processing and preparation activities:

The neutron reflectometry data are presented as received following the experiment and the on-site data reduction process.

Technical details and requirements:

For technical details for the neutron reflectometry experiment, please see Hollinshead et al., 2009 (DOI: 10.1021/la8028319). The .dat files are text files in space-separated value format. The molecular dynamics simulations were all run on the SCARF cluster at the RAL site, over 16 to 32 nodes. The production runs, that consist of 50 ns (simulation time) data, sampled every 0.1 ns. The GROMACS software (http://www.gromacs.org/) is required read the .cpt, .edr, .pdb, .tpr and .trr files. The .log and .gro files may be opened in a text editor. Please refer to the GROMACS reference manual for details of these file formats.
