(1/1) Proudly present our recent work on small molecule partitioning into Biomolecular condensates. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Small Molecule Properties Define Partitioning into Biomolecular Condensates

Biomolecular condensates regulate cellular function by compartmentalizing molecules without a surrounding membrane[1][1],[2][2]. Condensate functions are believed to arise from the specific exclusion...
