Efficiency, Selectivity, and Robustness of Nucleocytoplasmic Transport
Figure 6
The Number of FG nups Does Not Significantly Affect the Transport Properties of NPCs
(A) Effective potential for sparse flexible FG-repeat regions is shown as a blue line. Each well corresponds to an FG-repeat region. The transport properties in this multiwell potential are independent of the number of wells, and hence equivalent to those in the single-well potential, shown as a red line.
(B) Numerical simulations show essentially identical transport efficiencies in the multiwell potential (blue line) and in the single-well potential (red line).
