OptoChaperone – A biohybrid tool for regulating protein condensates in cells and <i>in vitro</i>

2025-07-16

Abstract excerpt

Protein condensates formed via liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) are increasingly recognized as key players in diverse cellular processes, including those associated with disease. Despite extensive efforts to characterize their formation and function, tools that enable precise, reversible, and spatiotemporal control of LLPS remain limited. Here, we report OptoChaperone, a light-activatable molecular system des...
