Behavior and Properties of Many Distinct DNA Liquids
ORAL
Abstract
The cell consists of many liquid compartments phase-separated from the cytosol, but also apparently immiscible with each other. To explore such multi-condensate systems, we have created an artificial mixture of many immiscible biomolecular liquids. Each liquid consists of similar DNA particles, but the distinct liquids remain immiscible due to DNA sequence-specificity. We compare the phase behavior and materials properties of these different liquids, offering insight into the degree of predictability of multi-condensate properties.
