Cell biology: Pore puzzle
John D. Aitchison1 & Richard W. Wozniak2
Abstract
Where would you start in trying to work out the structure of a macromolecular machine consisting of 456 proteins? Taking a combined experimental and computational approach is one answer.
Consider a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle. There are millions of ways in which the pieces might fit together, yet there is only one solution.
- John D. Aitchison is at the Institute for Systems Biology, 1441 North 34th Street, Seattle, Washington 98103, USA.
