Abstract in brief
- This study explores creating synthetic coacervate droplets that can facilitate nonenzymatic oligonucleotide polymerization, mimicking how biological compartments regulate molecular interactions, which is essential for developing evolvable protocells.
- The researchers used complexation between reactive oligonucleotides and a cationic azobenzene photoswitch to form different types of coacervates that respond to light, enabling cycles of assembly and disassembly to control polymerization processes dynamically.
- These reactive coacervates demonstrate phase transitions driven by changes in polynucleotide length and composition, establishing a potential pathway for nonenzymatic polynucleotide synthesis and primitive compartmentalization similar to early cellular life.]
