ABSTRACT
Porin isolated from bovine skeletal muscle was reconstitute in planar lipid bilayers under voltage clamp conditions. A set of non-electrolytes were used as molecular probes for determining the pore diameter. The maximal diameter of the open channel was estimated to be 3.02 +/- 0.26 nm. As observed for other porin channels, a large transmembrane potential drove the channel into a "closed" state. The channel transition to the low conductance (closed) state was followed by a decrease in the maximal diameter of the channel to 2.4 +/- 0.08 nm.
