Tunable multiphase dynamics of arginine and lysine liquid condensates
The design principles underlying biomolecular phase separation of membrane-less organelles remain poorly understood. Using model homopolymers, Fisher et al. show that the formation kinetics of coexisting liquid phases can be tuned by exploiting differences between arginine and lysine residues.
