In the homotrimeric OmpF porin from Escherichia coli, each channel is constricted by a loop protruding into the β -barrel of the monomer about halfway through the membrane. The water-filled channels exist in open or closed states, depending on the transmembrane potential. For the transition between these conformations, two fundamentally different m...
