New in JACS! Using NMR, we show how condensates selectively bind and localize ions following the 'law of matching water affinities', shaping condensate composition, interface potential & RNA stability.

Selective Ion Binding and Uptake Shape the Microenvironment of Biomolecular Condensates
Biomolecular condensates modulate various ion-dependent cellular processes and can regulate subcellular ion distributions by selective uptake of ions. To understand these processes, it is essential to...
