Photoswitchable single-stranded DNA-peptide coacervate formation as a dynamic system for reaction control

Summary: In cells, segregation allows for diverse biochemical reactions to take place simultaneously. Such intricate regulation of cellular processes is achieved through the dynamic formation and disassembly of membraneless organelles via liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). Herein, we demonstrate...
