Caions are shown as balls colored magenta. Residues identified as penetrating to a non-polar environment by SDSL are colored red. Cationic residues involved in ligand binding and membrane interactions are colored blue. The hydrocarbon core boundary at the cytoplasmic side is indicated by blue dots. The layer of lipid phosphates ("P") is shown by gold dots (at 5 Å outside the hydrocarbon boundary [28]). The center of the membrane is indicated by grey dots (at 15 Å inside the boundary).
