Phase separation of protein mixtures is driven by the interplay of homotypic and heterotypic interactions

Abstract Prion-like low-complexity domains (PLCDs) are involved in the formation and regulation of distinct biomolecular condensates that form via phase separation coupled to percolation. Intracellular condensates often encompass numerous distinct proteins with PLCDs. Here, we combine simulations an...
