Simulation of cell

LAMMPS LAMMPS Beginners
1

Dear All,

I have seen some work on the simulation of cells consisting of membrane, cytoskeleton and nucleus. For example: Probing eukaryotic cell mechanics via mesoscopic simulations. PLoS Comput Biol 13(9): e1005726. doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005726.

Is it possible to run this simulation with Lammps, and if yes which package is used? Thank you very much for any information.
Best regards.

Impossible to say from that information. You are in a much better position to check this than anybody on the outside. You have to check the individual potentials used in the force fields employed by the authors of the publication and compare to what is available in LAMMPS. For each style LAMMPS will indicate if an optional package is needed and which one.
