a Structural comparison of pore-lining segment S6. The point at which the S6 bends is colored green. b Peripheral side view of the atomic model of S6 in cartoon representation with relevant hydrophobic residues in the stick representation. c Central side view of the atomic model of S6 in cartoon representation with relevant hydrophobic residues in the stick representation. d–g composed view of two adjacent α-monomers, highlighting the interaction between hydrophobic residues in the internal cavity.
