Beschreibung

An increasing number of organelles and biochemical compartments in cells, which form by assembly of proteins and RNA in condensed phases, have been characterized in recent years. In the study of such membraneless cell compartments, concepts from polymer physics, soft matter physics and the theory of liquid-liquid phase separation play a key role. This meeting brings soft matter and polymer researchers together with molecular and cell biologists to discuss macromolecular phase separation and the physical nature of protein condensates. Topics include Membraneless organelles and RNA-bodies Phase transition of macromolecules in complex/crowded solutions Active components and liquid-liquid phase separation Disordered proteins Non-equilibrium models of droplet-formation and segregation
