Numerous cell biology studies have used high concentrations of 1,6-hexanediol to dissolve
membraneless organelles and disordered protein biomolecular condensates. Yet, little is known
about how alkanediols effect liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), and why certain alkanediol
isomers are more effective. Here, we evaluate the effect of various alkanediols on the
archetypal phase separating protein FUS. Low-complexity domain and full-length FUS LLPS is
