| Comments | "Cyro-EM studies in yeast have shown that a G1 cell nucleus contains about 90 NPCs (nuclear pore complexes)[ref 57]. Considering a typical nuclear surface area of 7.4 µm^2 and a diameter of an NPC of 100µm [units in error, should be nm], one can calculate that NPCs account for about 10% of the total surface of the inner nuclear membrane [ref 58]." |
