1- barrel stave pore model ,that claims peptides interact laterally with one another to form a specific structure enclosing a water-filled channel, much like a protein ion channel. | 1- barrel stave pore model ,that claims peptides interact laterally with one another to form a specific structure enclosing a water-filled channel, much like a protein ion channel. | ||

2- toroidal pore model, that claims specific peptide–peptide interactions are not present, and instead, single peptides are bound to the membrane’s phospholipids and disturbe it’s structure.. | 2- toroidal pore model, that claims specific peptide–peptide interactions are not present, and instead, single peptides are bound to the membrane’s phospholipids and disturbe it’s structure.. | ||
