DNA-Induced Entropic Gain Triggers an Allosteric Switch for Biomolecular Condensation of Heat Shock Transcription Factor 1.
Article in Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The molecular logic of how site-specific DNA recognition by a transcription factor (TF) is transduced into macroscopic protein condensation remains a fundamental puzzle in chemical biology. Here, we unveil that the structured DNA-binding domain (DBD) of a TF acts as an entropic switch to regulate the release of the intrinsically disordered region (IDR). Using high-resolution solution NMR spectroscopy, we demonstrate that DNA binding significantly shifts the conformational equilibrium of the DBD toward a highly dynamic state. This conformational shift allosterically triggers the release of the IDR, thereby promoting macroscopic biomolecular condensation via multivalent interactions between the IDR and other molecules. Our findings define a mechanism of entropy-driven allostery, providing a structural and thermodynamic basis for how DNA-encoded information is transduced into macroscopic phase behavior.
