Fig 13. Effect of intra-target protein attraction on neighbor persistence in droplets.

Neighbor persistence of a binding protein (A) without a polymer present and (B) with a polymer present that interacts through non-specific interactions. In both cases the time proteins spend with the same neighbors is lengthened as the intra-target attraction ϵ_TT increases. (A) Line color corresponds to protein concentration and line pattern denotes ϵ_TT. (B) Line color denotes ϵ_TT in simulations with 64 proteins interacting with four 16mer polymers in theta solvent with ϵ_TP = 1.7k_BT.
