We report a numerical simulation of the phase diagram of a simple model formembrane proteins constrained to move in a plane. In analogy with thecorresponding three dimensional models, the liquid-gas transition becomesmetastable as the range of attraction decreases. Spontaneous crystallizationhappens much more readily in the two dimensional models rather than in theirthree dimensional counterparts.Comment: Revtex, 9 pages, 7 figure
