Methods And Systems For Quantifying Partitioning Of Agents In Vivo Based On Partitioning Of Agents In Vitro

Small molecule therapeutics can concentrate in distinct intracellular environments, some bounded by membranes, and others that may be formed by membrane-less biomolecular condensates. The chemical environments within biomolecular condensates have been proposed to differ from those outside these bodies, but the internal chemical environments of diverse condensates have yet to be explored. Here we use small molecule probes to demonstrate that condensates formed in vitro with the scaffold proteins of different biomolecular condensates harbor distinct chemical solvating properties. The chemical rules that govern selective partitioning in condensates, which we term condensate chemical grammar, can be ascertained by deep learning, allowing efficient prediction of the partitioning behavior of small molecules. The rules learned from in vitro condensates were adequate to predict the partitioning of small molecules into nucleolar condensates in living cells. Different biomolecular condensates harbor distinct chemical environments, that the chemical grammar of condensates can be ascertained by machine learning.
