The bonds between monomers allow the formation of 6 <scene name='82/829352/Eyelets/1'>lateral openings</scene> of a diameter of 1 nm. And the presence of polar residues may have an impact on the selection of ion entry. | The bonds between monomers allow the formation of 6 <scene name='82/829352/Eyelets/1'>lateral openings</scene> of a diameter of 1 nm (in purple).
