Multi‐body Fluctuation‐Induced Forces Between Membrane Proteins: Insights from Mesoscale Simulations - weria-pezeshkian/FreeDTS GitHub Wiki

The spatial organization of membrane-associated proteins is essential for a wide range of cellular processes, including signal transduction, endocytosis, and cell adhesion. While protein clustering can be driven by direct short-range forces, indirect interactions mediated by the membrane itself, particularly those arising from thermal shape fluctuations, are potentially sufficient to drive clustering in the absence of direct binding.
