Authors: Fei Xiong
Liquid-liquid phase separation is pervasive in the interior of cells. Elucidating the mechanism of its formation is important both for understanding its physiological function and for predicting prospective drug targets. According to the Boltzmann distribution, we describe a physical relationship between liquid-liquid phase separation and epigenetic modification, suggesting that biochemical metabolism may play an important role in phase separation. It also suggests that liquid-liquid phase separation is universal in the origins of early life because alkaline hydrothermal vents are full of biochemical reactions.
