Abstract: How are proteins imported into the mitochondria and chloroplasts? The answer is through pores, and new studies on these organelles indicate similarities in structure. In the latest work, the Tom40 protein has been purified and then incorporated, asymmetrically, into liposomes. The resulting pore has a diameter of 22-26 Å, and it is selective for cations.
