Channel width modulates the permeability of DNA origami based nuclear pore mimics

Qingzhou Feng, Martin Saladin, Chunxiang Wu, Eason Cao, Wei Zheng, Amy Zhang, Pushpanjali Bhardwaj, Xia Li, Qi Shen, Larisa E. Kapinos, Toshiya Kozai, Malaiyalam Mariappan, C. Patrick Lusk, Yong Xiong, Roderick Y. H. Lim, Chenxiang Lin

The paper investigates how varying the width of DNA origami-based nuclear pore mimics affects permeability, showing that narrower pores restrict viral capsid passage while wider pores allow it with NTR assistance.
