A mechanism for reversible mesoscopic aggregation in liquid solutions

Solutions of proteins and other molecules can host puzzling, solute-rich inclusions of mesoscopic dimensions. Here the authors report a mechanism by which mesoscopic clusters can nucleate and ripen, requiring that the solute form long-lived complexes, with implications for biologically and industria...

Sumario:Solutions of proteins and other molecules can host puzzling, solute-rich inclusions of mesoscopic dimensions. Here the authors report a mechanism by which mesoscopic clusters can nucleate and ripen, requiring that the solute form long-lived complexes, with implications for biologically and industrially relevant systems.
