Finding a Needle in a Haystack: The Role of Electrostatics in Target Lipid Recognition by PH Domains

Interactions between protein domains and lipid molecules play key roles in controlling cell membrane signalling and trafficking. The pleckstrin homology (PH) domain is one of the most widespread, binding specifically to phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs) in cell membranes. PH domains must locate...
