Crystal templating through liquid-liquid phase separation.
Controlled induction of crystal nucleation is a highly desirable but elusive goal. Attempts to speed up crystallization, such as high super saturation or working near a liquid-liquid critical point, always led to irregular and uncontrollable crystal growth. Here, we show that under highly nonequilibrium conditions of spinodal decomposition, water crystals grow as thin wires in a template-less f...
متن کاملLiquid-liquid phase separation in biology.
Cells organize many of their biochemical reactions in non-membrane compartments. Recent evidence has shown that many of these compartments are liquids that form by phase separation from the cytoplasm. Here we discuss the basic physical concepts necessary to understand the consequences of liquid-like states for biological functions.
متن کاملLiquid-Liquid Extraction Using the Composition-Induced Phase Separation Process
This paper describes a new separation process of liquid-liquid extraction. It consists of first mixing the system to be extracted with a primary solvent, which is soluble with the native solvent, and subsequently adding a modifier, which is insoluble with either the native or the primary solvent. This process is similar to the phase transition extraction, which was described in a previous paper...
متن کاملModeling the gas-particle partitioning of secondary organic aerosol: the importance of liquid-liquid phase separation
The partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds between the gas phase and aerosol particles is an important source of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Gasparticle partitioning of organic and inorganic species is influenced by the physical state and water content of aerosols, and therefore ambient relative humidity (RH), as well as temperature and organic loading levels. We introduce a novel ...
متن کاملLiquid-liquid phase separation of a surfactant-solubilized membrane protein.
Solubilization of membrane proteins requires surfactants, whose structural properties play a crucial role in determining the protein phase behavior. We show that ionization of a pH-sensitive surfactant, lauryldymethylamino-N-oxide, bound to the bacterial photosynthetic Reaction Center, induces protein phase segregation in micrometric "droplets." Liquid-liquid phase separation takes place in a n...
