Compartmentalised RNA catalysis in membrane-free coacervate protocells

Compartmentalised RNA catalysis in membrane-free coacervate protocells

Phase separation of mixtures of oppositely charged polymers provides a simple and direct route to compartmentalisation via coacervation. Here authors demonstrate that a coacervate microenvironment supports RNA catalysis whilst selectively sequestering RNA based on length.
