A designer FG-Nup that reconstitutes the selective transport barrier of the nuclear pore complex

Intrinsically disordered FG-Nups line the Nuclear Pore Complex (NPC) lumen and form a selective barrier where transport of most proteins is inhibited, whereas specific transporter proteins are able to pass. Here, the authors reconstitute the selective behaviour of the NPC by introducing a rationally...
