Go charmm-gui webpage, click "Input Generator", select “Membrane Builder -> Bilayer Builder” on the side bar of the web page.
Upload the best model pdb file generated by Modeller and select PDB format . Click “Next Step”.
Check PDB info including the sequence information. Click “Next Step”.
Don't include the missing residues.
Step0: We do not mute the PDB file, click “Next Step”.
Step1: We use PDB orientation. Click “Next Step”.
Step2: Might take a little bit of time
