The Effects of DEAD-box Helicase Activity on Biomolecular Condensate Structure and Dynamics

Biomolecular condensates are membraneless organelles which help spatiotemporally organize the biochemistry of the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. These bodies are composed of specific proteins and RNA which self-associate to drive condensate formation. The strengths, timescales, and valence of the biomol...
