Partitioning and compartmentalized reactions in intracellular LLPS and all‐aqueous emulsions. a) Schematics of the biomolecular partitioning‐assistant intracellular compartmentalized reactions. b) Schematics illustrating the improved rate of the partitioning‐assistant compartmentalized reaction. c) Fluorescent microscope images showing RNA partitions into dextran‐rich phase droplets of ATPS: c1) transmitted light; c2) dextran fluorescence; c3) RNA fluorescence. Scale bars: 25 µm. d) Accelerated RNA cleavage rate, illustrated as the fraction of RNA substrate strands cleaved versus time. a) Reproduced with permission.133 Copyright 2016, Springer Nature. b,d) Reproduced with permission.136 Copyright 2017, Elsevier. c) Reproduced with permission.137 Copyright 2012, Springer Nature.
