==Structure== | |||
Porin is made of 18 beta strands surrounding a hydrophilic pore, which is charged and polar. The surface of porin is hydrophobic, because it interacts with neighboring alkane chains. In another <scene name='Sandbox12/Spacefill/2'>representation</scene> of the protein, the hydrophilic pore is visible in the porin. The <scene name='Sandbox12/Hydrophobic/1'>beta sheets</scene> can be seen here in purple. | |||
