Morphogenesis in coacervate‐based synthetic cells. Artificial metalloenzymes within coacervate microdroplets catalyze the internal production of a DNA intercalator from an inactive precursor. The intercalator dynamizes the coacervates by weakening the DNA interactions, thereby resulting in morphological responses such as fusion and growth. Redrawn from Ref. [79].
