Schematic view of proposed models for structure of membrane pores. (a) Proteinaceous pores consist of BAX/BAK oligomers at the inner rim. (b) Lipid pores are also initiated and stabilized by BAX/BAK oligomerization, but the pore’s edge is formed by a monolayer of lipids, allowing hydrophilic proteins to pass the pore
