Quantification of surface tension effects and nucleation-and-growth rates during self-assembly of biological condensates
2022-11-24
Abstract excerpt
Liquid-solid and liquid-liquid phase separation (PS) drives the formation of functional and disease-associated biological assemblies. Principles of phase equilibrium are here employed to derive a general kinetic solution that predicts the evolution of the mass and size of biological assemblies. Thermodynamically, protein PS is determined by two measurable concentration limits: the saturation concentration and the...
