Colloid science meets biology. A new method has been introduced to visualize the interaction of proteins (purple) with membrane‐coated silica beads (surface shown in orange) by observing a phase transition from a condensed to a dispersed phase. Changes in the radial pair distribution function provide a sensitive means to quantify the interaction of proteins with membrane‐confined receptors.
