Designer Condensates for Regulation of Catalytic Processes
Living cells have evolved to provide subcellular microenvironments that accommodate and control specific (bio)catalytic processes. These compartments include membrane-bound and membraneless organelles, or biomolecular condensates. New breakthroughs in studying and characterizing cellular biomolecular condensates have facilitated researchers to design synthetic condensates that are formed by liquid-liquid phase separation of engineered proteins, polypeptides, peptides, or nucleic acids. Yet, a precise regulation of designed condensates’ properties and their utilization for nanobiotechnological applications remains a major challenge. I propose to utilize my expertise in peptide design to…
