Look for a family of channels (ion or otherwise) or transporters.

I'm going to discuss the family of potassium ion channels, and the specific channel I'll be using to illustrate will be the KcsA potassium ion channel. (http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore/explore.do?structureId=1k4c)

Here are just a few of the things that I'll want to incorporate into my page at some point:

When viewed in (where the N-terminus is gradually shaded into the C-terminus according to the scale below)
