Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering Signatures of Conformational Heterogeneity and Homogeneity of Disordered Protein Ensembles

Jianhui Song, Jichen Li, Hue Sun Chan

Physically, disordered ensembles of non-homopolymeric polypeptides are expected to be heterogeneous; i.e., they should differ from those homogeneous ensembles of homopolymers that…

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…
