Curious how biocondensates localize ions? We found that condensates selectively bind and localize both chaotropic anions and kosmotropic cations. This alters the condensate composition, interface potential and RNA duplex stability inside. By @IrisSmokers biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Want to measure the volume fraction of biocondensates or coacervates? We present easy and accurate methods, with which we found that upon destabilization, condensates can either shrink or swell, giving insight in condensate volume regulation in cells. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…

Coacervates can accelerate (bio)chemical reactions and direct their outcome. In our new review by @IrisSmokers we detail how their unique properties allow them to function as catalytic microcompartments at the origins of life. Have a look here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

An E. coli cell contains ~2500 different chemicals. A chemist combining 2500 different chemicals in a lab will result in an explosion. This is the Many-Chemicals Problem of Systems Chemistry. I explain how to overcome this key obstacle to creating more complex systems.

How do coacervates direct the outcome of (bio)chemical reactions? We developed a model to predict their effect on bimolecular, polymerization, self-replication and oscillating reactions, to guide experiments. Exciting results for origins of life & biology! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…

For oscillating reaction networks the periodicity and amplitude of oscillations can be altered by incorporation in a two-phase system, and oscillations can even be ‘rescued’ in concentration regimes where sustained oscillations do not take place in a single-phase system.
