discussions on these mat ters, and who have shared re prints and preprints with me. I regret that space limitations preclude the citation of many relevant papers. In selecting =efelences for citation, I have tried to include: seminal ref erences or those that provide a unique perspective on a particular point being made in the text, representative publications from the vari ous laboratories that have done membrane simulations, and recent publications with extensive bibliographies. The work in my laboratory on this topic was supported by the National Science Found ation and by grants of com puter time from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications.
Funding Information:
Acknow~edge~nents This work was funded by a US Army Research Office, University Research \[nitiative grant to P. L., M. L. and J. M., and an NIH Grant to M. L. Also, M. A. K. and G. C. were partially supported by NIH Training grants to the University of Pennsylvania.

N2 - Because of the complexity of biological membranes, computer simulations are useful adjuncts to experimental work in their study. Simulations of model membranes have provided new insights. Progress in simulating more biologically realistic membranes will require further development of statistical mechanical theory applied specifically to these systems, in conjunction with the use of powerful computers.
