Biomolecular condensates are membraneless organelles that compartmentalize biological functions in living cells. Formed by the phase separation of biomolecules, condensates possess a wide range of mec...

Biomolecular condensates are complex droplets comprising diverse molecules that interact by various mechanisms. Condensation is often driven by short-range attraction, but net charges can also mediate...

Under heat stress, proteins have been shown to organize into biomolecular condensates in living cells. Recent experiments suggest that this response may be encoded in the chemical makeup of proteins....

Predicting small-molecule partitioning into biomolecular condensates is the key to developing drugs that selectively target aberrant condensates. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying small-mol...
