Figure 8. Snapshots after 1 ms for binary RNA-protein mixtures at T = 298K, with κ = 0.7 and using effective charges according to Equation 5.

[RNA]=0.493 mM and [protein]=0.350 mM. Orange and blue spheres show RNA and proteins, according to size. Concentrations inside the condensates were [RNA:lysozyme]=20.2:20.2 mM; [RNA:trypsin]=16.5:15.2 mM; [RNA:LDH]=9.6:7.2 mM; [RNA:ADH]=9.5:6.7 mM.
