Backbone-mediated weakening of pairwise interactions enables percolation in peptide-based mimics of protein condensates

Abstract Biomolecular condensates formed by intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are semidilute solutions. These can be approximated as solutions of blob-sized segments, which are peptide-sized motifs. We leveraged the blob picture and molecular dynamics simulations to quantify differences betwe...
