α-Hemolysin channel representations in a simplistic way, as a pipe of variable diameter uniformly conducting ions of some “effective” size, which includes hydration shells (left panel) and in all-atom lipid-embedded and fully hydrated dynamic form (right panel). See the article by Aksimentiev and Schulten on explicit computation of hemolysin channel permeation in this issue.
