Predicting disordered regions driving phase separation of proteins under variable salt concentration

Predicting disordered regions driving phase separation of proteins under variable salt concentration

We investigate intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of phase separating proteins regarding their impact on liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of the full protein. Our theoretical approach uses a mean-field theory that accounts for sequence-dependent electrostatic interactions via a Random Phas...
