In FirstGlance (and JSmol), distances are measured by double-clicking on first one, then the second of the two relevant atoms. The distance between the centers of two of the outermost blue atoms is '''644 &Aring;''', while the distance between two of the innermost red atoms is '''315 &Aring;'''. The length of the transmembrane spikes/posts is about '''35 &Aring;''', consistent with the thickness of a lipid bilayer.
