High-moisture (HM) extrusion is the dominant industrial process to create structured plant-based protein products that can be used for animal-free meat alternatives. Yet, the underlying mechanisms, such as phase separation, that govern structure formation in plant-protein extrudates, are still poorly understood. Current hypotheses require experimental data in order to be verified, but measurement techniques able to quantify phase-separated anisotropic protein extrudates are lacking, or have yet...

[NMR paper] Interaction hot spots for phase separation revealed by NMR studies of a CAPRIN1 condensed phase
Interaction hot spots for phase separation revealed by NMR studies of a CAPRIN1 condensed phase
The role of biomolecular condensates in regulating biological function and the importance of dynamic interactions involving intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDRs) in their assembly are increasingly appreciated. While computational and theoretical approaches have provided significant insights into IDR phase behavior, establishing the critical interactions that govern condensation with atomic resolution through experiment is more difficult, given the lack of applicability of standard...
