DNA origami scaffold for studying intrinsically disordered proteins of the nuclear pore complex

FG-Nups are disordered proteins in the nuclear pore complex (NPC) where they selectively control nuclear transport. Here authors build NPC-mimics based on DNA origami rings which attach a certain numbers of Nups to analyse those nanopores by cryoEM and conductance measurements.
