Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 38, 13 October 2026.ATP itself is able to undergo liquid–liquid phase separation in the presence of the macromolecular crowding agent PEG and physiological ATP concentrations are sufficient for phase separation in the presence of mM Mg2+ and crowders, mimicking intracellular conditions.

Programming Multidomain Peptides With Molecular Frustration Into Biomolecular Condensates
Small, Volume 22, Issue 51, 11 September 2026.De novo designed multidomain peptides (MDPs) were used to explore how molecular ordering influences peptide phase behavior. MDPs containing partially folded β‐sheets were found to form biomolecular condensates. This work introduces a new design principle for condensate formation and expand the design space beyond conventional intrinsically disordered ...

Recent Theoretical Approaches to Minimal Artificial Cells
Entropy, 2014 Minimal artificial cells (MACs) are self-assembled chemical systems able to mimic the behavior of living cells at a minimal level, i.e. to exhibit self-maintenance, self-reproduction and the capability of evolution.

Design of Fuel‐Dependent, Complex‐Coacervate‐Based Synthetic Cells
Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 31, 18 August 2026.Fuel‐dependent synthetic cells form and persist only in the presence of chemical fuel, decaying under starvation. We establish design rules for hexapeptide‐based coacervates, showing that tryptophan enhances polyanion binding, extends lifetime, and reduces waste sensitivity.

G‐Quadruplexes: Structural Diversity and Emerging Roles in Biomolecular Condensation
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 45, 13 August 2026.G‐quadruplexes (G4s) fold into diverse intra‐ and intermolecular structures, positioning them as emerging regulators of biomolecular condensation. Mechanistically, G4s autonomously form condensates, act as structural platforms to initiate and stimulate condensation, or induce phase transitions.

Role of hydrodynamic flows in chemically driven droplet division
New Journal of Physics, 2018 We study the hydrodynamics and shape changes of chemically active droplets. In non-spherical droplets, surface tension generates hydrodynamic flows that drive liquid droplets into a spherical shape.
