The depletion attraction: an underappreciated force driving cellular organization
Cellular structures are shaped by hydrogen and ionic bonds, plus van der Waals and hydrophobic forces. In cells crowded with macromolecules, a little-known and distinct force - the "depletion attraction" - also acts. We review evidence that this force assists in the assembly of a wide rang...
