Nucleocytoplasmic transport: diffusion channel or phase transition?
How exactly large molecules translocate through nuclear pores has been mysterious for a long time. Recent kinetic measurements of transport rates through the pore have led to a novel translocation model that elegantly combines selectivity with very high transport rates.
