I present an automated and flexible tool designed for constructing bilayer membranes at all-atom (AA) resolution. The builder initiates the construction and equilibration of bilayer membranes at Martini coarse-grained (CG) resolution, followed by resolution enhancement to the atomic level using the accompanying backmapping tool. Notably, this tool enables users to create bilayer membranes with user-defined lipid compositions and protein structures, while also offering the flexibility to accommodate new lipid types. To assess the simplicity and robustness of the tool, I demonstrate the construction of several membranes incorporating protein structures. The tool is freely available at github.com/ksy141/mstool.
