From: The difference between MelP5 and melittin membrane poration
Pore fluctuation of MelP5. Snapshots of the pore dissolution process are shown in top views, in a POPC membrane with 25% CHOL at both (a) 333 K and (d) 393 K respectively. The representative configuration in the final stage at 6 μs is shown for MelP5 with 25% CHOL at (b) 333 K and (e) 393 K. The inner pore radius dpore at different CHOL concentrations is shown for MelP5 at (c) 333 K and (f) 393 K throughout the simulations. The shaded area stands for the pore formation part. Red, green and blue lines and shaded areas stand for 0%, 12.5% and 25% CHOL, respectively. N# stands for the number of peptides in the pore at each time point.
