Reflectins form multicompartment liquid-liquid phase separated condensates that mirror and may facilitate spatial organization in squid skin Bragg lamellae

Reid Gordon, Robert Levenson, Brandon T. Malady, Yahya Al Sabeh, Daniel E. Morse

This study shows reflectin proteins form liquid-liquid phase-separated condensates that mirror spatial organization in squid skin Bragg lamellae, controlled by charge density and protein proportions.

Charge screening and hydrophobicity drive progressive assembly and liquid-liquid phase separation of reflectin protein

Reid Gordon, Robert Levenson, Brandon T. Malady, Yahya Al Sabeh, Alan Nguyen, Daniel E. Morse

This study shows that charge screening and hydrophobicity drive the assembly and liquid-liquid phase separation of reflectin proteins, revealing mechanisms for tunable reflectivity in squid.

Protein Charge Neutralization is the Proximate Driver Dynamically Tuning a Nanoscale Bragg Reflector

Robert Levenson, Brandon T. Malady, Tyler Lee, Yahya Al Sabeh, Phillip A. Kohl, Youli Li, Daniel E. Morse

This study shows that charge neutralization, not aromatic content, drives the assembly and fine-tuning of reflectin-based Bragg reflectors in squid skin cells.
