Impact of Coiled-Coil Domains on the Phase Behavior of Biomolecular Condensates
A new Study from the Harmon and Sommer Labs in ACS Macro Letters entitled 'Impact of Coiled-Coil Domains on the Phase Behavior of Biomolecular Condensates' addressed how the geometry and structure of folded domains impact condensate formation. They used coarse-grained simulations to determine that…

Molecular Assembly Lines in Active Droplets
Cells assemble structures that have lots of molecules. How can such complicated structures be reliably assembled? We propose that cells could be organizing an assembly line process for the construction. We show how this could be organized inside droplets. In this video we explain our recent…

New Study: A multi-step nucleation process determines the kinetics of prion-like domain phase separation
In this study, time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was used to characterize liquid-liquid phase separation of Prion-like domains. Read more
