Keywords: Molecular Dynamics simulation, lipid molecules, hydrated bilayers

Molecular dynamics simulations of homogeneous hydrated phosphatidylcholine bilayers of different structures were carried out. Bond orientation properties were studied. Profiles of bond order parameters with respect to the bilayer normal and corresponding probability density distributions of bond orientations were calculated. We demonstrate that the study of the anisotropy degree of probability density distributions of bond orientations allows to distinguish extended regions with different types of angular fluctuations of bonds in a membrane formed by lipid molecules with unsaturated chains.
