Center to center inter-oxygen distances at the selectivity filter edges shown in Fig. 1 D. Distance calculations are directly from the Biological Assembly PDB file coordinates. Distances di result from the construction of the Biological Assembly. We chose the above structures because they showed the best resolution available at the time.
