Two copies of the 15-amino-acid gramicidin peptide are shown here () arranged as they are believed to be when they form a channel through a lipid bilayer membrane[1]. The shape of the protein is shown with tiny dots, inside of which is a ribbon backbone trace connecting the alpha carbon atoms of each amino acid chain.
- Show of the gramicidin protein chains. The chains are covalently linked with dioxane in this experiment (C, O),
- (Most hydrogen atoms are omitted.)
C, H, O, N, P. - Show . Notice how the hydrophobic lipid "tails" exclude water.
- Water passes .
