Fig. 1. Structure of the I. tartaricus c[11] ring in ribbon representation. Subunits are shown in different colors. (A) View perpendicular to the membrane from the cytoplasmic side. Two subunits are labeled. (B) Side view. The blue spheres represent the bound Na^+ ions. Detergent molecules inside the ring are shown with red and gray spheres for clarity. The membrane is indicated as a gray shaded bar (width, 35 Å). The images were created with PyMOL (36).
