Schematic representation of certain closed states. Closed colicin channels can adopt several membrane-bound conformations, two of which are illustrated. (A) Penknife model based on studies of colicin A (374). (B) Variant of the umbrella model, as proposed for colicin E1 (408). The figure is not meant to suggest that the secondary structure of the protein in these states replicates the crystal structure.
