a Views from the side (top panel) and from the extracellular side (bottom panel), showing locations of benzene molecules from 250 equally spaced frames for each simulation, according to the colour scheme indicated. The middle panel shows the breathing motion of the lateral opening during benzene exit via pathway B. b Force profiles corresponding to pathways A and B (top panel) and views of the initial location of benzene for the equilibrium simulations (bottom). Standard deviations are shown in orange and blue.
