  bibo_abstract:
  - By varying the concentration of molecules in the cytoplasm or on the membrane,
    cells can induce the formation of condensates and liquid droplets, similar to
    phase separation. Their thermodynamics, much studied, depends on the mutual interactions
    between microscopic constituents. Here, we focus on the kinetics and size control
    of 2D clusters, forming on membranes. Using molecular dynamics of patchy colloids,
    we model a system of two species of proteins, giving origin to specific heterotypic
    bonds. We find that concentrations, together with valence and bond strength, control
    both the size and the growth time rate of the clusters. In particular, if one
    species is in large excess, it gradually saturates the binding sites of the other
    species; the system then becomes kinetically arrested and cluster coarsening slows
    down or stops, thus yielding effective size selection. This phenomenology is observed
    both in solid and fluid clusters, which feature additional generic homotypic interactions
    and are reminiscent of the ones observed on biological membranes.@eng
