27. When the density of negatively charged membrane lipids increases, the ion conductance of some bilayer-incorporated ion channels including gramicidin A and porin increases as well due to a higher concentration of positive ions near the channel mouth and thus a higher probability for an ion to enter the channel; see discussion in refs 21 and 27.

36. 34 It was suggested that salt ions can screen the pore charges diminishing the translocation rates (although the "ion blockage" mechanism cannot be completely excluded as well) indicating a possible 2-fold role of salt in solution on the conductivity of these channels.
