| The following video shows a simplified model for the formation of a lipid monolayer at an oil-water interface. Water molecules are not explicitly modeled. Their effect is approximated by an effective force field across the interface. You can change the environment and/or re-arrange the molecules to see how they reform a monolayer. |
