Actually if you use CHARMM36 FF then no need to use Berger parameters,
since CHARMM36 FF already have the all-atom POPC parameters. But there are
differences among the atom types. So you can use these POPC files (Peter
Lai provided me these files and these were generated for the following
work: (please reference):
Lai, P.C. and Crasto, C.J.
Beyond Modeling: All-Atom Olfactory Receptor Model Simulations
Front. Gene.
Volume 3 Year 2012 Number 61
DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2012.00061)

These files worked fine for me (with grompp). Include the popc.itp file in
your .top file.
