Electrostatically induced recruitment of membrane peptides into clusters requires ligand binding at both interfaces.

Protein recruitment to specific membrane locations may be governed or facilitated by electrostatic attraction, which originates from a multivalent ligand. Here we explored the energetics of a model system in which this simple electrostatic recruitment mechanism failed. That is, basic poly-L-lysine b...
