a Dilute phase concentration measurements of one component only can enable assessment of the energetics of phase separation processes. b For phase separation triggered by a decrease in ionic strength, an ion exclusion mechanism from the dense phase was observed across multiple proteins. c Ion partitioning displays opposing behaviours in phase separation at high and low ionic strength conditions. d 1,6-HD dissolution effects were observed to correlate with an increase in polypeptide chain expansion.
