Model of syntaxin clusters in the plasma membrane. Simulations of molecular dynamics were used to construct this model in which a balance between attractive interprotein interactions and steric repulsion result in clusters made up of approximately 75 syntaxins. Proteins within the cluster are immobile but can exchange with freely diffusing molecules. Image provided by B. Ramner and T. Lang.
