Schematic of possible scenarios in multicomponent protein phase separation. (Left) Mixing of different proteins due to similar homotypic and heterotypic interactions. (Middle) Formation of condensates with subcompartments distinct in protein composition (and possibly dynamics) due to differences in homotypic and heterotypic interactions. (Right) Formation of separate protein droplets of distinct composition when heterotypic interactions are much weaker.
