Phospholipid head-group solvation
In these images, excess water density surrounding two phospholipid headgroups is shown as a colored halo around the head group atoms. The water density is measured in a head-group-fixed reference frame, and it is clear that the phosphate end in DMPC and the amine end in DMPE are the two most heavily solvated atoms.
