Liquid-liquid
phase separation
Phase separation is the creation of two distinct Phase (matter), phases from a single homogeneous mixture. The most common type of phase separation is between two immiscible liquids, such as oil and water. This type of phase separation is kn ...
(LLPS) is well defined
in the Biomolecular condensate page.
LLPS databases cover different aspects of LLPS phenomena, ranging from cellular location of the Membraneless Organelles (MLOs) to the role of a particular protein/region forming the condensate state. These databases contain manually curated data supported by experimental evidence in the literature and can include related features as presence of protein disorder, low complexity, post-translational modifications, experimental details, phase diagrams, among others.
