In silico model of αBaltMIP trimer (available at Model Archive database under the DOI 10.5452/ma-a4btt) and αBaltMIP monomer (available at Model Archive database under DOI 10.5452/ma-a2iil) with a detailed view of the central pore (yellow), highlighting the four conserved cationic residues R38, K52, R89 and H90. In addition, the hydrophobic core (cyan), the 13–36 residues of the neck C-terminal region (red) and the Y144 (blue) are depicted
