Abstract

Adapting a hard hexagon model to describing protein adsorption, we show by using Monte Carlo simulations that the ordering of adsorbed proteins may strongly depend on the relative location of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic patches on their surface. Specifically, proteins may form dimers, trimers, small rings, and zig-zag or straight chains or islands consisting of such fragments.
