2016, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - BiomembranesCitation Excerpt :It is important to note, however, that despite their beta-barrel structure, porins are not simply inert, wide channels allowing the energy-independent exchange of polar molecules across membranes. In most cases, they actually display voltage-dependent gating, an effect that is generally not well understood in porins [53–55]. For some porins, pressure-induced effects on gating have also been reported [56].
