'''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..

the '''Nonepore model''' claims peptides bind to the membrane until it collapses. It is devided into 2 main mechanisms:
