Abstract
We report a numerical simulation of the phase diagram of a simple model for membrane proteins constrained to move in a plane. In analogy with the corresponding three dimensional models, the liquid-gas transition becomes metastable as the range of attraction decreases. Spontaneous crystallization happens much more readily in the two dimensional models rather than in their three dimensional counterparts.
