Cells achieve high spatiotemporal control over biochemical processes through compartmentalization to membrane-bound as well membraneless organelles that assemble by liquid-liquid phase separation. Characterizing the balance of forces within these environments is essential understanding their stability and function, water an integral part condensate, playing important role in mediating electrostatic hydrogen-bonding interactions. Here, we investigate ultrafast, picosecond hydrogen-bond...
Water often serves as both a reactant and solvent in electrocatalytic reactions. Interfacial water networks can affect the transport kinetics of these reactions, e.g., hydrogen evolution reaction CO2 reduction reaction. Adding cosolvents that influence hydrogen-bonding (H-bonding) environment, such dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), has potential to tune reactivity important reactions by regulating interfacial local environment network. We investigate H-bonding water-DMSO cosolvent mixtures on gold...
Biomolecular condensates provide a mechanism for compartmentalization of biomolecules in eukaryotic cells. These liquid-like are formed via liquid–liquid phase separation, by plethora interactions, and can mediate several biological processes healthy Expansions dipeptide repeat proteins, DPRs, which arginine rich DPRs like poly-proline-arginine (PR), poly-glycine-arginine (GR), partition RNA into however induce cell toxicity. Here, we use (GR)20 as model poly-GR condense it using either...
