Thanks a lot for your interest in our work!
And there you have it, phase separation can override binding affinity. This is a big dogma challenged, what if standard affinity is not a factor, or at least the only one, to determine protein and nucleic acid distribution in cells?
A study on two synaptic proteins reveals that phase separation-mediated formation of molecular condensates and network complexity within condensates can change the biomolecular interaction specificities of these proteins
