koaservatdråper
Koaservatdråper are microscopic, spherical structures that form spontaneously when oppositely charged macromolecules, such as nucleic acids and proteins, are mixed in an aqueous solution. These droplets are considered a potential precursor to the first living cells, as they exhibit some life-like properties. They are not true cells and lack a membrane, but they can grow, divide, and selectively accumulate certain molecules from their surroundings. This accumulation ability is thought to be crucial for concentrating the necessary components for early metabolic processes.
The formation of koaservatdråper is driven by electrostatic attraction between the charged polymers. Depending on the
