Isolating and characterizing proteins for in vitro condensate formation might be problematic!
Have you ever worked with isolated proteins? Most work in our group involves the isolation of (typically recombinantly produced) proteins plus their biophysical characterization. During this work, we encountered several problems associated with the insolation of tagged proteins and/or with their biophysical characterization. We have therefore decided to discuss some problems that typically occur but are often ignored “hands on”. We will focus on the isolation of tagged proteins plus their characterization via CD spectroscopy and/or dynamic light scattering. We will use examples from our own research with a condensate-forming protein to highlight some problems and pitfalls.

This conference is organized by the Liquids Section of the Condensed Matter Division of the European Physical Society.
The aim of the conference is to bring together scientists working on the liquid state of matter. This rapidly growing field includes the physics, chemistry, biology, and chemical engineering of liquid matter as well as various applied research areas in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries.
The conference will consist of plenary lectures, topical symposia with keynote lectures and contributed oral presentations, and poster sessions. The plenary and keynote lectures will be streamed. All speakers will be on site.

Getting to know the ubiquitin family – analysis & manipulation
Posttranslational modifications of proteins play essential regulatory roles in cells as they modulate their targets’ interactions, localization, and stability. This is achieved either by changing the biophysical properties of the targets or by providing interaction surfaces for dedicated receptors that elicit a biological signal. In this lecture, I will give a brief overview over the family of ubiquitin-like modifiers, their biochemical and biological properties, their enzymatic machinery, and their signalling functions in the cell. I will also cover established and innovative techniques to analyse and manipulate their activities in cells.

SFB 1551 Seminar Series Event - Prof. Dr. Katharina Landfester
2025-03-06 10:30 - 11:30 UTC
Methods talk by Prof. Dr. Katharina Landfester, Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research
Title: “Polymer- and peptide-based coacervates in polymeric vesicles“.
Date: Thursday, 6 March, 2025
Time: 10:30 – 11:30
Room: BZ1 Room 00.187
Abstract:
Synthetic vesicles and coacervates have been gaining attention in recent years due to their ability to create systems that emulate the structural and functional characteristics of natural cells. To achieve this, it is of interest to combine tools from chemistry, materials science, engineering, computing and biochemistry to develop structural building blocks for the construction of synthetic cell-like systems. The multitude of strategies and materials that have been developed in recent decades have enabled scientists to engineer synthetic cells and organelles that mimic the essential functions and behaviours of natural cells. However, the existing literature continues to rely extensively on natural components for the formation of these synthetic systems, which are highly susceptible to external stimuli and may result in unintended outcomes during experimentation. Within the methods talk I will concentrate from the chemist’s point of view on the creation of synthetic cell-like systems with polymer- or peptide-based coacervates of increased complexity, composed primarily of synthetic (polymeric) materials, which can self-assemble from the bottom up into diverse and functional compartments for application specifically in biocatalysis, drug delivery, fiber formation and engineering of artificial cells
