COMPUTATIONAL STUDIES OF CARGO TRANSPORT THROUGH THE NUCLEAR PORE COMPLEX

Sanjeev K. Gautam, Rozita Laghaei, Afshin Eskandari Nasrabad, Rob D. Coalson

This study uses coarse-grained MD simulations to show Kaps direct NTF2s into the Nup meshwork, increasing their flow and suggesting NTRs follow specific lanes for efficient transport.
