Lipid bilayer model:

Molecular dynamics simulation of the phosphatidylcholine bilayer in water performed by H. Heller, M. Schaefer and K. Schulten (J. Phys. Chem. 97:8343-8360, 1993) at Theoretical Biophysics Group, Beckmann Institute, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, U.S.A.

Model of gramicidin in bilayer:

Molecular dynamics simulation of gramicidin in a bilayer done by T.B. Woolf  and (Biophys. J. 67:1370-1386, 1994) at CENG, Centre d'Etudes Atomiques, Grenoble, France, and Chemistry Dept., Université de Montreal, Montreal H3C 3J7 Canada.
