Hi Arthur,
There was a goof during submission and publication, in that I forgot to include the script that goes along with the patch files and cuts the tails down for you. I've attached it here, as well as putting it on github for the folks that stumble into this thread at a later date (https://github.com/jvermaas/hmmmsolvents). Hopefully it is fairly self-explanatory, but basically you source the tcl script and use the "hmmmize" procedure.

Dear All,
Me and my group are attempting to turn a regular lipid membrane into an HMMM as described in this article: doi: 10.1021/acs.jpcb.6b11378. We have previously built HMMM membranes using CHARMM-GUI but we want to use the enhanced version of it described in the aforementioned paper. We have a pre-equilibrated regular lipid membrane generated through CHARMM-GUI lipid generator, as well as the files provided in the article. From reading the topology files we are under the impression that we can use the patches topology file to both cut the lipid tails and generate the SCSE solvent. Since previously we were successful doing the standard procedure with the autoPSF in VMD, we don't know how to actually proceed to apply these patches in order to achieve this. We tried doing it with the add patches in autoPSF as well as the patch command in psfgen but we were unsuccessful. Could anyone describe the steps to achieve this? I attached the contents of the topology and parameter files provided in the article below for reference.
Thank you in advance,
Arthur Vale
