koaservasyon
Koaservasyon is a process in which a liquid separates into two distinct liquid phases. This phenomenon occurs when a solution containing certain molecules, such as proteins or nucleic acids, undergoes a change in conditions like temperature, pH, or salt concentration. The molecules aggregate into dense, liquid-like droplets within the surrounding solution. These droplets are not solid precipitates but rather dynamic structures that can fuse, break apart, and exchange their contents with the environment.
The formation of koaservates is driven by weak intermolecular forces, such as electrostatic interactions and hydrophobic
This process plays a significant role in various biological systems. For example, it is involved in the
