Interfacial Structure of Positively Charged Polypeptide Condensates

narrows the interfacial width and weakens the local charge separation in condensates stabilized by specific attractions. The electrostatic potential displays an asymmetric diffuse profile across the interface. Overall, our predictions are qualitatively consistent with experimental observations, and the insights provided here may aid the rational design of biomolecular condensates with tailored interfacial properties.

Abstract

narrows the interfacial width and weakens the local charge separation in condensates stabilized by specific attractions. The electrostatic potential displays an asymmetric diffuse profile across the interface. Overall, our predictions are qualitatively consistent with experimental observations, and the insights provided here may aid the rational design of biomolecular condensates with tailored interfacial properties.
