There is notable discrepancy between experiments and coarse-grained model studies
regarding the thermodynamic driving force in polyelectrolyte complex coacervation …

A number of intrinsically disordered proteins have been shown to self-assemble via liquid–
liquid phase separation into protein-rich and dilute phases. The resulting coacervates can …

Endeavoring toward a transferable, predictive coarse-grained explicit-chain model for
biomolecular condensates underlain by liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) of proteins …

Complex coacervation driven liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of biopolymers has
been attracting attention as a novel phase in living cells. Studies of LLPS in this context are …

The protein folding problem was first articulated as question of how order arose from
disorder in proteins: How did the various native structures of proteins arise from interatomic …

Polymer science has been driven by ever-increasing molecular complexity, as polymer
synthesis expands an already-vast palette of chemical and architectural parameter space …

Protein encapsulation is a growing area of interest, particularly in the fields of food science
and medicine. The sequestration of protein cargoes is achieved using a variety of methods …

A conceptual framework towards understanding biological condensed phases is emerging,
derived from biological, biomimetic, and synthetic sequences. However, de novo peptide …
