Understanding the fundamentals of designing polyelectrolyte coatings, which can be seen as a bio-inspired approach due to chemical sequences that are analogous to proteins at a molecular level, ...

Classical mixture theory, which takes into account the percentage corresponding to each constituent as well as the ...

With exposure to intense heat, ultraviolet light, electrical storms, and other conditions, organic molecules conbined to form membrane-bound droplets call coacervates. These may have been the ...

Transferring coacervates based on polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride and adenosine triphosphate into deionized water has been experimentally demonstrated to stabilize them against coalescence.

Proteases are enzymes that catalyse hydrolysis of the peptide and isopeptide bonds that join amino acids within proteins (known as proteolysis). Proteases can also remove protein post ...

Scientists propose that two distinct models of protocells – vesicles and coacervates – may have played a pivotal role in the early stages of life. Vesicles are tiny bubbles, like soap in water.

In physics, a system composed of two substances can be modeled in accordance with classical mixture theory, which considers ...
