The antiviral effect of some AMPs depends on their interaction with the membrane by electrostatic association with negative charges of glycosaminoglycans facilitating binding of AMP and competing with viruses [ 11].
Despite the fact that they constitute typically only ∼1% of membrane composition, these minority lipids can act at sites of regulation at least partly by electrostatic association with peripheral and embedded proteins (14).

Binding was ionic strength-dependent, involved amino groups on the proteinase, and correlated with increasing GAG sulfate content, indicating a predominantly electrostatic association.
However, IBB interacted with GST protein; this interaction was not physiologically relevant and likely resulted from non-specific electrostatic association.
One prebiotically accessible mechanism for RNA membrane association is by electrostatic interactions with cationic, membrane-bound small molecules or peptides.
It is likely that the negatively charged polysaccharide synthesized by LARGE binds to these basic patches through electrostatic associations when α-dystroglycan approaches the ligand.
NB analyzed by SDS-PAGE and stained by Coomassie blue showed a similar smearing of proteins, obtained after extensive washes with buffers containing physiological amounts of salts, ruling out weak electrostatic associations (Fig. 11A).
Cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) selectively target bacterial membranes by electrostatic interactions with negatively charged lipids.
PtdIns4P would then function in recruiting soluble proteins to the PM by electrostatic interaction with their polycationic surface.
Instead, positively charged polymeric hydrogels could possibly develop additional molecular attraction forces by electrostatic interactions with negatively charged mucosal surfaces.
