Experiments performed in the last decades gave insight into the nature of the hydration repulsion between lipid membranes. With our Molecular Dynamics Simulations, we want to link the results of the experiments with a theoretical foundation. In particular we investigate the entropic and enthalpic contribution of the interaction between hydrated membranes. We also analyse the structural parameters of the membranes at different hydration levels and discuss our results for both the fluid as well as the gel phase by comparing them to the experimental data.
