Protein docking onto membranes

Caption

Model for the docking of Mon1/Ccz1 onto membranes. Ccz1 (green) and Mon1 (blue) form a stable complex with a new type of structure. Positively charged areas on the surface of Mon1 interact with negatively charged lipids (red), and this ensures the correct orientation.
