This study shows how sequence features and heterotypic interactions affect reflectin condensate dynamics in HeLa cells, revealing mechanisms for reversible material transitions in cephalopods.

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.

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.

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

The paper investigates how neutralization of cationic linkers in reflectin proteins tunes their assembly into multimeric spheres, revealing a predictive relationship between charge neutralization and assembly size.
