✦ Synopsis

In this paper, the influence of electrodes on the orientations of the dipole heads of lipids in a monolayer is modelled. Each molecule is represented by an electric dipole lying on the monolayer plane. Each dipole is subject to the electric field generated by both the other dipoles and the electrodes. As a simplifying assumption, only interactions among a limited number of dipoles ('cellular array') are considered.

The electrodes' contribution to the electric field is calculated through a proper discretization of their charge densities.

## Abstract Protein interactions with a heterogeneous surface, such as a two‐component lipid film, often deviate from simple additivity of the adsorption to the respective single component, β€œhomogenous” films. This behavior was highlighted in previous research where adsorption of the negatively cha
