The crystal structure of a gramicidin-cesium complex has been determined at 2.0 angstrom resolution. In this structure, gramicidin forms a 26 angstrom long tube comprised of two polypeptide chains arranged as antiparallel beta strands that are wrapped into a left-handed helical coil with 6.4 residues per turn. The polypeptide backbone forms the interior of the hydrophilic, solvent-filled pore and the side chains form a hydrophobic and relatively regular surface on the outside of the pore. This example of a crystal structure of a solvent-filled ion pore provides a basis for understanding the physical nature of ion translocation.
