Interactive Demo
Nuclear Pore Gating Simulator
Nuclear Pore Gating Simulator is a free, interactive learning demo from the High School Biology course on Lykke. It helps you build intuition for Nucleus, Ribosomes, Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), Lysosomes. Play with it directly in your browser — it features 2 sliders, 1 toggle, 1 button and a live visual canvas. This demo lives in the “Eukaryotic Cell Structures and Organelles” section of the course.
How to use this demo
- Drag the “Molecular Mass: 50 kDa”, “Attach NLS Tag”, “NPC Threshold: 40 kDa” sliders to change the inputs and watch the result update live.
- Use the “Inject Macromolecule” button to trigger actions or reset the demo.
- Toggle the checkboxes to show or hide layers and compare cases.
- Experiment freely — there's nothing to break, and every change is reversible.
What you'll explore
- Nucleus
- Ribosomes
- Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
- Lysosomes
- Cilia and Flagella
Frequently asked questions
What does the Nuclear Pore Gating Simulator demo do?
An exploration of the internal components of eukaryotic cells and their specialized functions. Nuclear Pore Gating Simulator turns that idea into something you can manipulate directly and watch respond.
What High School Biology concept does Nuclear Pore Gating Simulator teach?
An exploration of the internal components of eukaryotic cells and their specialized functions. It focuses on Nucleus, Ribosomes, Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), Lysosomes, Cilia and Flagella from the “Eukaryotic Cell Structures and Organelles” section.
What can I control in Nuclear Pore Gating Simulator?
The “Molecular Mass: 50 kDa”, “Attach NLS Tag”, “NPC Threshold: 40 kDa” sliders change the key inputs; toggles show or hide layers so you can compare cases; the “Inject Macromolecule” button run actions or reset the demo. Every change updates the visualization in real time, so you can see exactly how each variable affects the outcome.
How does Nuclear Pore Gating Simulator fit into the High School Biology course?
The Client Challenge course is a comprehensive high school biology curriculum designed to guide students through the fundamental pillars of life sciences. The course spans from the molecular foundations of life and cell… This demo is the interactive piece for the “Eukaryotic Cell Structures and Organelles” section.

What will I understand better after using Nuclear Pore Gating Simulator?
You'll build intuition for Nucleus, Ribosomes, Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), Lysosomes, Cilia and Flagella — and, crucially, see how they behave when you change the inputs, which is hard to get from a textbook or lecture on High School Biology alone.
