The multiscale modeling approach. Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations (panel A) provide the high-resolutions structures and charge distributions needed for continuum, nonequilibrium electrodiffusion modeling of the protegrin pore (panel B). Ion permeabilities are calculated based on these results, and transient ion transport is modeled for entire bacterial cells (panel C), allowing us to estimate the total number of pores.
