Biological Chemistry Seminar: Dr. Tanja Mittag, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Title: Phase separation and emergent properties of condensates
Abstract: Phase separation compartmentalizes cells via the formation of membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates. Phase separation influences many fundamental biological processes, from…
