Structure and Dynamics of Heteroprotein Coacervates

Under specific conditions, mixing two oppositely charged proteins induces liquid–liquid phase separation. The denser phase, or coacervate phase, can be potentially applied as a system to protect or encapsulate different bioactive molecules with a broad range of food and/or medical applications. The optimization of the design and efficiency of such systems requires a precise understanding of the structure and the equilibrium of the nanocomplexes...
