Abstract excerpt
Molecular communication across physical barriers requires pores to connect the environments on either side and discriminate between the diffusants. Here we use porous virus-like particles (VLPs) derived from bacteriophage P22 to investigate the range of molecule sizes able to gain access to its interior. Although there are cryo-EM models of the VLP, they may not accurately depict the parameters of the molecules...
