CALHM2 Simulations

Caption

After obtaining crucial structural insights from Furukawa's lab at CSHL, Stephen Tucker's lab at the University of Oxford performed simulations to understand how the pores keep things inside a cell with holes as large as CALHM2. They discovered fatty acids inside CALHM's pore that function much like a membrane.
