Conformations of a Low-Complexity Protein in Homogeneous and Phase-Separated Frozen Solutions

C. Blake Wilson, Myungwoon Lee, Wai‐Ming Yau, Robert Tycko

The paper investigates whether local conformational distributions of FUS-LC differ between homogeneous and phase-separated states using ssNMR and finds they are nearly identical.
