The "Goldilocks" zone: A key to cellular adaptability and resilience
DNA
Scripps Research Institute Dec 24 2024 In a discovery that could redefine how we understand cellular resilience and adaptability, scientists at Scripps Research have unlocked the secret interactions between a primordial inorganic polymer of phosphate known as polyphosphate (polyP), and two basic building blocks of life: DNA and the element magnesium. These components formed clusters of tiny liquid droplets–also known as condensates–with flexible and adaptable structures. PolyP and magnesium are
