Washington, DC - Tiny pores at a cell’s entryway act as miniature bouncers, letting in some electrically charged atoms - ions, but blocking others.

To rapidly transport the right ions through the cell membrane, the tiny channels rely on a complex interplay between the ions and surrounding molecules, particularly water, that have an affinity for the charged atoms. But these molecular processes have traditionally been difficult to model and therefore to understand using computers or artificial structures.
