Light-Responsive Mononucleotide Coacervates. [PDF]
ChemistryAbstractLiquid‐liquid phase separation (LLPS) is central to the formation of biomolecular condensates in modern cells and is also explored as a mechanism for assembling protocells. Phase‐separated droplets provide dynamic micro‐environments that concentrate reactants, enhance reactions, and allow molecular exchange, essential for both cellular ...
