Complex coacervation is an associative, liquid–liquid phase separation that can occur in
solutions of oppositely-charged macromolecular species, such as proteins, polymers, and …

Abstract The Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) advanced a new paradigm for materials
discovery and design, namely that the pace of new materials deployment could be …

Polyelectrolyte complex coacervates represent a wide class of materials with applications
ranging from coatings and adhesives to pharmaceutical technologies. They also underpin …

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

Polyelectrolyte complex coacervates of homologous (co) polyelectrolytes with a near-ideally
random distribution of a charged and neutral ethylene oxide comonomer were synthesized …

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 …

Biomolecular condensation is a key mechanism for organizing cellular processes in a
spatiotemporal manner. The phase-transition nature of this process defines a density …

Control of the electrochemical environment in living cells is typically attributed to ion
channels. Here, we show that the formation of biomolecular condensates can modulate the …

Biological systems employ liquid–liquid phase separation to localize macromolecules and
processes. The properties of intracellular condensates that allow for multiple, distinct liquid …

Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) in biology is a recently appreciated means of
intracellular compartmentalization. Because the mechanisms driving phase separations are …
