Congratulations to DCB Graduate Student Gala Rodriguez and Postdoc Dr. Nicholas Watkins of the Sepunaru Group on their new publication in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in the United States of America (PNAS)! Their work reveals, for the first time, how energy levels shift inside biologically confined liquid–liquid phase–separated (LLPS) droplets, using a powerful combination of electrochemistry and spectroscopy. This study opens a new window into how confined environments reshape biochemical reactivity.
