Artificial condensates can boost metabolic engineering

Nicotiana benthamiana is widely used to reconstruct complex, multi-step metabolic pathways for research or industrial purposes. This is enabled by rapid and high-level protein expression after agroinfiltration. Within cells, as well as membrane-bound organelles, nonmembrane-bound biomolecular condensates can spontaneously form with high concentrations of specific proteins and biochemicals.
