Influence of lipids on the hydrophobic barrier within the pore of the TWIK-1 K2P channel by Aryal, Prafulla, Abd. Wahab, Mohd. Firdaus, Bucci, Giovanna, Sansom, Mark S.P., Tucker, Stephen J.

“…The lipid tails do not sterically occlude the pore, but there is an inverse correlation between the presence of water within the hydrophobic barrier and the number of lipids tails within the lining of the pore. However, dewetting still occurs in the absence of lipids tails, and pore hydration appears to be determined primarily by those side-chains lining the narrowest part of the pore cavity.…”
