Phase Separation of a Heterogeneous DNA Nanostar System

ORAL

Abstract

DNA nanostars (NSs) have, in the last decade, been established as a model system for the study of biomolecular liquid-liquid phase separation. A major advantage of the NS system is that interactions between NS particles can easily be tuned by exploiting DNA sequence specificity. Here, we consider mixtures of multiple, distinct NS particle species and investigate the effect on the phase behavior of the system.
