| Description | Macromolecular crowding (MC) refers to a high concentration of macromolecules that is present in a limited space such as the intracellular environment. A substantial proportion of the considered volume is physically occupied, reducing the effective volume available for all present molecules. This volume exclusion is a relevant factor in analyzing soft interactions, viscosity, perturbed diffusion and physical interactions between the present molecules and it affects both the properties of molecules and the physicochemical processes taking place in such environment. Crowding especially influences diffusion processes and biochemical reactions with great implications in biochemistry and cell biology. Book Name: New Frontiers in Nanochemistry |
