Theoretical Model: The structure described on this page was determined theoretically (in 1994[1]), and hence should be interpreted with caution.

Theoretical model of gramicidin in a lipid bilayer (phosphatidyl ethanolamine).

Two copies of the 15-amino-acid gramicidin peptide are shown here () arranged as they are believed to be when they form a channel through a lipid bilayer membrane[1]. The shape of the protein is shown with tiny dots, inside of which is a ribbon backbone trace connecting the alpha carbon atoms of each amino acid chain.

  • Show of the gramicidin protein chains. The chains are covalently linked with dioxane in this experiment (C, O),
  • (Most hydrogen atoms are omitted.)
  • Show . Notice how the hydrophobic lipid "tails" exclude water.
  • Water passes . Toggle spin off to see transparency.
  • Show .
  • Show only . For an explanation of their structure, see the detailed tutorial, also disponible en español.
