This model describes the biological membrane bilayer as an integration of proteins and lipids, which interact to control movement of material in and out of the cell through protein pores, form lipid rafts, and regulate vesicle formation. This Modules will focus on computational methods used to study biomembranes (specifically Monte Carlo).
