Biomolecular condensate
In biochemistry, biomolecular condensates are a class of membrane-less organelles and organelle subdomains, which carry out specialized functions within the cell.
Formation and examples of membraneless organelles In biochemistry, biomolecular condensates are a class of membrane-less organelles and organelle subdomains, which carry out specialized functions within the cell. Unlike many organelles, biomolecular condensate composition is not controlled by a bounding membrane. Instead, condensates can form and maintain organization through a range of different processes. The most well-known process is phase separation of proteins, RNA, and other biopolymers into either colloidal emulsions, gels, liquid crystals, solid crystals, or protein aggregates…
