Structure of the R6 hexameric insulin–phenol complex. The phenol molecule in the pocket between chains A, B, F and H can follow different unbinding pathways. The two most likely pathways are located at the interface of chains A, F and H. However, diffusion through the inner part of the hexamer is also geometrically feasible. Images of molecular models in this article have been generated using PyMOL (19).
