title: Calculating the potential of C2 domains for membrane binding.
abstract: A recent report in Molecular Cell demonstrates the ability of electrostatic calculations to predict the membrane binding properties of structurally characterized C2 domains and assign probable membrane targeting functions to numerous uncharacterized C2 domains.
