Article Synopsis
- The study compares pores created by p-octiphenyl beta-barrels with LWV triads to traditional rigid-rod beta-barrels, highlighting the multifunctional abilities of the tetrameric pores.
- The findings indicate that the preference for membrane interaction is influenced by the bilayer's affinity to W, which is greater than to V, suggesting a preference for barrel-stave over toroidal pore structures.
- The research also discusses how the stability of these pore formations is affected by monomer concentration, revealing a trend where lower beta-propensity for W leads to less stable conditions compared to V.
