Deskripsi

Liquid ribonucleoprotein condensates typically involve a dense network of multiple proteins and RNAs. Here, the authors employ a minimal system composed of Prion-like polypeptides (PLP), Arg-rich polypeptides (RRP), and RNA to form biphasic condensates with diverse morphologies tunable via mixture stoichiometry and hierarchy of intermolecular interactions.
