Abstract

The motions of individual lipid molecules in a model membrane have been studied by computer simulation using the molecular dynamics technique. The intermolecular forces were of both the Lennard-Jones and the Coulomb type. The influence of temperature and electrical screening on the order-disorder transition was examined, and it was also found that this transition is initiated by the spontaneous generation of disclinations.
