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

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.

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:

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!
