Geometry of the nucleus: a perspective on gene expression regulation.

We present the analogies between the emerging understanding of nuclear organization in the field of cell biology, and the more established disciplines of heterogeneous catalysis and the physics of random walks. We provide several recent examples showing how nuclear geometry affects protein reactivity in the nucleus. PMID: 24981829 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
