New Preprint: Reactive Memory Can Drive Condensate Behavior
In a recent preprint, the team investigated memory effects in biochemical reactions and discovered that they influence the phase behavior of biomolecular condensates.
The key finding is that this memory can drive richer dynamic phenomena, including:
- Self-propulsion
- Polar order
This indicates that the behavior of condensate systems is dictated not just by static chemical equilibrium, but also by reaction history itself, which can act as a crucial control variable.
