Snapshot of a molecular dynamics simulation of a lipid bilayer consisting of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine surrounded by water

Model: bilayer consists

of an ~ 30 Å hydrocarbon core

flanked on both sides by an

~15 Å interface containing

motionally averaged head

groups, H2O, glycerol, C=O

and CH2 groups
