Subject: electrostatic cutoffs in lipid bilayers

Dear Colleagues,

I have the following questions.  

In the past, the electrostatic cutoffs in protein modelling are about 8 
to 10 Angstrom.  However, in the lipid bilayers, in order to reproduce 
the experimental results, the cutoffs have to be increased to 30 A.  Would 
you refer me to the correct references concerning the simulation of lipid
bilayers with long electrostatic cutoff ?  Are there any molecular modeling 
that requires a cutoff greater than 30 Angstrom ?

Thanks.

Regards,

Yat-Ting Wong
