The packing density of a supramolecular membrane protein cluster is controlled by cytoplasmic interactions

The packing density of a supramolecular membrane protein cluster is controlled by cytoplasmic interactions

Molecule clustering is an important mechanism underlying cellular self-organization. In the cell membrane, a variety of fundamentally different mechanisms drive membrane protein clustering into nanometre-sized assemblies. To date, it is unknown whether this clustering process can be dissected into s...
