Nuclear pore complex

Nuclear pore complex

Structure of a nuclear pore complex of a human cell as 3D anaglyph

In a reconstruction from structural research the final full structure of a human nuclear pore complex is shown. Nuclear pores act as gates for molecules between cell nucleus and cytoplasma. Image was reconstructed from data by Jan Kosinski and co-workers at EMBL. It was visualized by Jan K. and by Elmar Spreer and used in the publication in Science 352 (6283).
