pH‐Tunable Material Properties of Glycine‐Rich Condensates from Tick Bioadhesive
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work studies the influence of pH on the phase separation behavior of a disordered glycine‐rich protein found in tick bioadhesive. The results show profound impact on the propensity of coacervation, condensate microstructure and viscosity, amphiphilicity of the peptides, and effective encapsulation of therapeutic molecules.
