Theory of Reversed Ripening in Active Phase Separating Systems
Jonathan Bauermann, Giacomo Bartolucci, Christoph A. Weber +1
The ripening dynamics in passive systems is governed by the theory of Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner (LSW). Here, we present an analog theory for reversed ripening in active systems. To d…
Theory for sequence selection via phase separation and oligomerization
Ivar S. Haugerud, Giacomo Bartolucci, Dieter Braun +1
Non-equilibrium selection pressures were proposed for the formation of oligonucleotides with rich functionalities encoded in their sequences, such as catalysis. Since phase separat…
Critical transition between intensive and extensive active droplets
Jonathan Bauermann, Giacomo Bartolucci, Job Boekhoven +2
Emulsions ripen with an average droplet size increasing in time. In chemically active emulsions, coarsening can be absent, leading to a non-equilibrium steady state with mono-dispe…
Formation of liquid shells in active droplet systems
Jonathan Bauermann, Giacomo Bartolucci, Job Boekhoven +2
We study a chemically active binary mixture undergoing phase separation and show that under non-equilibrium conditions, stable liquid spherical shells can form via a spinodal insta…
Selection of prebiotic oligonucleotides by cyclic phase separation
Giacomo Bartolucci, Adriana Calaça Serrão, Philipp Schwintek +7
The emergence of functional oligonucleotides on early Earth required a molecular selection mechanism to screen for specific sequences with prebiotic functions. Cyclic processes suc…
Thermodynamics of Wetting, Prewetting and Surface Phase Transitions with Surface Binding
Xueping Zhao, Giacomo Bartolucci, Alf Honigmann +2
In living cells, protein-rich condensates can wet the cell membrane and surfaces of membrane-bound organelles. Interestingly, many phase-separating proteins also bind to membranes…
Controlling composition of coexisting phases via molecular transitions
G. Bartolucci, O. Adame-Arana, X. Zhao +1
Phase separation and transitions among different molecular states are ubiquitous in living cells. Such transitions can be governed by local equilibrium thermodynamics or by active…
