Lipid Composition Modulates Secondary Structure at the Biocondensate–Membrane Interface

Biomolecular condensates (BMCs) formed through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) play key roles in cellular organization, yet their molecular-scale interactions with membranes remain poorly understood. Here, we use surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) to...

Bonded Water Is an Integral Component of Dissolved Organic Matter in the Ocean

Abstract Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the ocean, as one of the largest pools of reduced carbon on Earth, plays an important role in the global carbon cycle, yet its chemical structure remains largely unknown. Here we show that high molecular weight DOM (HMW‐DOM) contains app...
