Conformational dynamics of the nuclear pore complex central channel
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is a vital regulator of molecular transport between the nucleus and cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells. At the heart of the NPC’s function are intrinsically disordered phenyl...

Thrilled to share our latest paper in PNAS! We enhanced SAXS with noncanonical amino acid labels to extract both RG and RE of IDPs, addressing key discrepancies in biophysical measurements. Big thanks to Lemke Lab for the amazing ASAXS-inspired T-shirt! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
