Résumé

When polypeptides bind to the membrane surface, they become confined to a restricted quasi-two-dimensional space where peptide-peptide interactions become highly relevant, and the concept of a crowded medium is appropriate. Within this crowded environment interesting effects like clustering, separation of phases, cooperative alignment, and common movements occur. Here we investigated such effects by measuring distances between fluorophore-labeled peptides in the range
