254 - Phase transitions of structured complexes and cellular machinery

Monday, April 4, 2022

9:15 AM – 11:15 AM

Room: 120 A - Pennsylvania Convention Center

Session Chair(s)

In this session, we will highlight the spectrum between ordered molecular machines with precise stoichiometry and nonstoichiometric condensates, the latter of which can be disordered completely or have a more defined network structure. Both are necessary and shape functions in our cells.

Who should attend: everyone who likes molecular mechanisms and is not afraid of a bit of disorder.
