Although scientists appreciate that the nuclear pore complex (NPC) is more than a complex structure, and that it is, in fact, an intricate machine, they are still trying to work out all the ...
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are aqueous channels that penetrate the nuclear envelope, thereby connecting the nucleus and the cytoplasm. These structures consist of multiple copies of ∼30 different ...
A model of transport through the nuclear pore complex. The blue spheres represent macromolecules that do not interact with the selectively permeable barrier of the complex, while the red spheres ...
