PNAS articles can be made open-access by paying USD $975 if you have a
site license, or USD $1300 if you don't.[1] For at least my lab, this
is enough money that it's not worth doing. [Instead, I tend to make a
pre press version available, or otherwise make the research available
to anyone who contacts me about one of my papers which they cannot
easily get.]
