The channels have wide openings on either side with a tighter bottleneck in the middle, as illustrated in the interactive view <scene name='99/995028/Pacupp/2'>visualizing channels</scene> with pseudoatoms. In an alternative visualization, channels are shown as <scene name='41/411405/Channels/3'>surfaces</scene>, slabbed on both sides of the bottleneck for better visibility.

Finally, the animation below shows a view perpendicular to the membrane, slicing through different layers of the porin structure with the solvent accessible surface shown in tan. The channels appear narrower in this animation than in the interactive scene because the animation shows the solvent accessible surface while the interactive view shows the molecular surface.
