PROTEIN SELF-ASSEMBLY

Living cells as test tubes

Nature Chemical Biology volume 16, pages 934–935 (2020)Cite this article

Subjects

Thermodynamic principles are used to map the phase behavior of a tunable protein-binding system under crowded cellular conditions. This study marks a substantial step forward in relating molecular interactions to material properties and cellular processes involving protein self-assembly.
