Complex Architecture of “Molecular Giant” Understood in Greater Detail Than Ever Before - Technology Networks

Combining an artificial intelligence-based program that predicts protein structures with experimental and computational techniques has helped scientists figure out the human nuclear pore complex’s architecture in greater detail than ever before.

The molecular giant and its missing screws The human nuclear pore complex (NPC) is a true molecular giant, which sits on the membrane separating the nucleus from the cytoplasm. Its doughnut-shaped a… [+4990 chars]
