Fluidization is critical for ribozyme activity in peptide coacervates - Mg2+ can facilitate this. Huge congratulations to 1st author Juan. Great to see the fruits of your labour in print. #OriginOfLife #Coacervates. nature.com/articles/s41557-0…

Bottom-up #synbio allows testing of biological principles toward minimal living systems. @zechnerlab, @DoraTang5 and colleagues @mpicbg now show compartmentalization of gene expression leads to different transcription/translation rates vs in bulk. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…
