Extended Data Fig. 2

Top (a) and side (b) view of structure of monoclinic DYF crystal with blue colored nanopores. The volume of the solvent accessible area in DYF is 355 Å3 (14.1%) per unit cell. (c) and (d) show the cross-sectional view of (a). Top view of an individual void (e). There are two voids per unit cell, each occupying 7%. Each void has dimensions of ~13.4 Å x 6.1 Å. Top (f) and side (g) view of structure of monoclinic YFD crystal with blue coloured water voids. The volume of the solvent accessible area in YFD is 78 Å3 (3.4%) per unit cell. (h) and (i) show the cross-sectional view of (g). Top view of an individual void (j). These crystal structures were previously published in27; the representation used here emphasizes the water voids in these structures.
