Wow. This is like the old joke about buying a yacht: if you have to ask how
much it costs, you can't afford it.
After you work through the tutorials, start with the repeating units
(built up from derivatives of glycerol phosphate, then slowly add chemical
components. You are certainly going to want to treat this as a polymer,
not some large single molecule. Maybe other people on the list will have
ideas or know of some relevant studies. For some inspiration, take a look at
Section 3.8 (on lipids) in the Amber Reference Manual.
