* Assembly of three monomers :

The '''trimer''' is formed by '''<scene name='82/829352/Salt_bridges/1'>salt bridges</scene>''' between 3 subunits. These bonds based on the zipper structure are managed again by the negatively and positively charged residues so hydrophilic residues. Polar amino acids can be localized in the bond area too. In total, 96 residues are ionizable and which are all facing toward the interior of the tunnel. They are creating a channel overall charge of -12 because DCD-1L peptide is -2.

The bonds between monomers allow the formation of 6 lateral openings of a diameter of 1 nm. And the presence of small (such as polar amino acids) and positive residues may have an impact on the selection of ion entry.
