Phase behaviour of disordered proteins underlying low density and high permeability of liquid organelles
2017
Ultrafast-scanning fluorescence correlation spectroscopy has now been used to measure the molecular interactions underlying the phase behaviour of disordered proteins. Sequence-encoded conformational fluctuations of these proteins are shown to give rise to phase-separated droplets of surprisingly low concentrations. These results provide insight into how the structural features of the droplets affect the properties of liquid-phase intracellular organelles.
