Popis:	We present a theoretical conformational analysis of a system composed of seven dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine molecules in interaction. The combined use of classical semi-empirical methods for the polar headgroup region with mechanical statistical calculations for the aliphatic chains permits the evaluation of the free energy for a phospholipids molecule. The free energy variation in function of the mean intermolecular interchain distance gives information about the main lipid bilayer phase transition. It appears, however, necessary to take into account the hydration of the polar headgroups.
