Condensates can act as catalysts for biochemical reactions, even if their component proteins do not. This is because condensates create an interface between two phases, which sets up a gradient in concentrations—of ions for example, creating an electric field that can trigger reactions. The researchers have demonstrated condensate-induced catalysis of a wide range of biochemical reactions, including those involving hydrolysis (in which water splits other molecules apart).
