A Simple Explicit-Solvent Model of Polyampholyte Phase Behaviors and its Ramifications for Dielectric Effects in Biomolecular Condensates

Jonas Wessén, Tanmoy Pal, Suman Das +2

Biomolecular condensates such as membraneless organelles, underpinned by liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), are important for physiological function, with electrostatics -- amo…

Comparative Roles of Charge, and Hydrophobic Interactions in Sequence-Dependent Phase Separation of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

Suman Das, Yi-Hsuan Lin, Robert M. Vernon +2

Endeavoring toward a transferable, predictive coarse-grained explicit-chain model for biomolecular condensates underlain by liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), we conducted mult…

Analytical Theory for Sequence-Specific Binary Fuzzy Complexes of Charged Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

Alan N. Amin, Yi-Hsuan Lin, Suman Das +1

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are important for biological functions. In contrast to folded proteins, molecular recognition among certain IDPs is "fuzzy" in that their b…

A unified analytical theory of heteropolymers for sequence-specific phase behaviors of polyelectrolytes and polyampholytes

Yi-Hsuan Lin, Jacob P. Brady, Hue Sun Chan +1

The physical chemistry of liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of polymer solutions bears directly on the assembly of biologically functional droplet-like bodies from proteins and…

Coarse-Grained Residue-Based Models of Disordered Protein Condensates: Utility and Limitations of Simple Charge Pattern Parameters

Suman Das, Alan Amin, Yi-Hsuan Lin +1

Biomolecular condensates undergirded by phase separations of proteins and nucleic acids serve crucial biological functions. To gain physical insights into their genetic basis, we s…

A Lattice Model of Charge-Pattern-Dependent Polyampholyte Phase Separation

Suman Das, Adam Eisen, Yi-Hsuan Lin +1

In view of recent intense experimental and theoretical interests in the biophysics of liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), heteropolym…
