Subcellular organization of bacterial cells transitioning from exponential to stationary phase has not been well investigated. This study shows that transition-phase E. coli cells exhibit asymmetric ...

The common commensal gut bacterium Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron uses phase separation of the transcription termination factor Rho to colonize and thrive in the mammalian gut, according to a new study ...

An area in molecular engineering that holds great promise is understanding the physical foundations of phase transitions, especially that of intrinsically disordered and ordered proteins. Phase ...

Using a new method 'Terahertz (THz) calorimetry', a research team shed new light on the spontaneous phase separation into a protein-rich and a protein-poor phase in a solution. It is assumed that the ...

Chemidroplet is a chemical tool, that fused the BTB-containing domain to the multivalent DNA binding domain (DBD) and intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) to readily control the LLPS of these ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation is not a precursor to formation of amyloid fibrils, a pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease, shows study. Rather, the formation of protein into liquid droplets ...

New York and Cambridge, UK -- Recent research demonstrates that protein phase separation (PPS) is widely present in cells and drives a variety of important biological functions. Protein phase ...

Aptasensors, which use aptamers as recognition elements, are gaining traction in medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and food safety. Understanding how these sensors function at the ...
