This movie shows the process of flip-flop or transmembrane
movement of a phospholipid from one half of a bilayer to the
other. This is a thermodynamically unfavorable process
because the polar head group must pass through the
hydrocarbon core of the bilayer. The movie is based on a
molecular model of the bilayer generated by molecular
dynamic calculations(Heller et al. J.
Phys. Chem.97 8343 (1993)).
