Self-Assembly of Biomolecular Condensates with Shared Components

Self-Assembly of Biomolecular Condensates with Shared Components

Biomolecular condensates self-assemble when proteins and nucleic acids spontaneously demix to form droplets within the crowded intracellular milieu. This simple mechanism underlies the formation of a wide variety of membraneless compartments in living cells. To understand how multiple condensates with distinct compositions can self-assemble in such a heterogeneous system, which …
