Reversible generation of coacervate droplets in an enzymatic network.
Cells can control the assembly and disassembly of membraneless organelles by enzymatic processes, but similar control has not been achieved in vitro yet. Here we develop ATP-based coacervate droplets as artificial membraneless organelles that can be fully controlled by two cooperating enzymes. Droplets can be generated within a minute following the addition of phosphoenolpyruvate as a substrate...
متن کاملComplex coacervate core micelles as diffusional nanoprobes.
Because of their ease of preparation and versatile modification opportunities, complex coacervate core micelles (C3Ms) may be a good alternative for expensive diffusional probes, such as dendrimers. However, C3Ms are unstable at high salt concentrations and may fall apart in contact with other polymers or (solid) materials. Therefore, we designed and characterized small (15 nm radius), stable f...
متن کاملPREBIOTIC CHEMISTRY Rapid RNA Exchange in Aqueous Two-Phase System and Coacervate Droplets
Compartmentalization in a prebiotic setting is an important aspect of early cell formation and is crucial for the development of an artificial protocell system that effectively couples genotype and phenotype. Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) and complex coacervates are phase separation phenomena that lead to the selective partitioning of biomolecules and have recently been proposed as membrane...
متن کاملSurface-guided templating of particle assemblies inside drying sessile droplets.
The particles suspended inside evaporating sessile droplets can be assembled into microscopic objects with long-ranged ordered structure. The air-water droplet interface guides the assembly and determines the shape of the resulting micropatches. We report the results of a systematic study of the mechanism of interface-templated assembly on substrates of controlled contact angle. The kinetics of...
متن کاملAssemblies as Graph Processes
This short paper explores the potential of embedding-based graph rewriting as a tool for understanding natural computing, and in particular self-assembly. The basic point of view is that aggregation steps in self-assembly can be adequately described by graph rewriting steps in an embedding-based graph transformation system: the building blocks of an assembly correspond to occurrences of rewriti...
