The common commensal gut bacterium Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron uses phase separation of the transcription termination factor Rho to colonize and thrive in the mammalian gut, according to a new study ...

Conserved sequence motifs within intrinsically disordered protein regions act as evolutionary units that support phase separation and membraneless organelle formation.

CluMPS—Clusters Magnified by Phase Separation—is a fluorescent reporter strategy for detecting protein clusters. It promises to facilitate the visualization of protein clusters that are too small to ...

New York and Cambridge, UK -- Recent research demonstrates that protein phase separation (PPS) is widely present in cells and drives a variety of important biological functions. Protein phase ...

An area in molecular engineering that holds great promise is understanding the physical foundations of phase transitions, especially that of intrinsically disordered and ordered proteins. Phase ...

Recent research demonstrates that protein phase separation (PPS) is widely present in cells and drives a variety of important biological functions. Protein phase separation at the wrong place or time ...
