Abstract
Provided herein are methods of screening for agents that can partition in viral condensates and therefore may be effective anti-viral agents. Also disclosed are methods of optimizing the activity and reducing the side effects of known or suspected anti-viral agents by screening the portioning of modified known or suspected anti-viral agents in viral condensates and other condensates occurring in cells (e.g., transcriptional condensates).
