This study examines the structural characteristics and interactions of various ion channels, including KvAP, Ci-VSP, and NachBac, across different membrane compositions (DOPC and DOTAP). Figures illustrate the spatial relationships and distances between these channels, emphasizing their tetrameric formations and comparative dimensions. The analysis highlights the impact of membrane thickness on the stability and functionality of these ion channels, providing insights into their potential biological roles in cellular environments.
