Magic sizes enable minimal-complexity, high-fidelity assembly of programmable shells
Botond Tyukodi, Fernando Caballero, Daichi Hayakawa +4
Recent advances in synthetic methods enable designing subunits that self-assemble into structures with precise, finite sizes and well-defined architectures, but yields are frequent…

Computer simulations show that liquid-liquid phase separation enhances self-assembly
Layne B. Frechette, Naren Sundararajan, Fernando Caballero +2
Biomolecular condensates are liquid- or gel-like droplets of proteins and nucleic acids formed at least in part through liquid-liquid phase separation. Condensates enable diverse f…
