Supramolecular localization in liquid-liquid phase separation and protein recruitment in confined droplets

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Jan 5;59(4):414-417. doi: 10.1039/d2cc05910j.

Abstract

This study investigated the localization of artificial peptide supramolecular fibers in liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). Hierarchical organization led to the localization of supramolecules in LLPS droplets. Moreover, proteins were recruited into confined droplets by the physical adsorption of proteins on the supramolecules, enabling an enhanced cascade reaction.
