Thanks for Reply, 
I am using 310k T for POPC Bilayer.I have found area per lipid 0.63nm^2/sec at 310k in gmx-archives. I have got the value 0.64522nm^2/sec and asked to gmx-archvies people replied, that is reasonable value.
the reference value is right?
Thanks in advance

>Are you sure, that the APL value of POPC is about 0.63nm^2? Because, as far as I know, at 303K the APL is about 0.683nm^2. (Structure of fully hydrated fluid phase lipid bilayers with monounsaturated chains - Nagle et al.). Which temperature did you used?
