11. These transit times are much longer than those commonly estimated for the natural ion channels. Furthermore, they are also much longer than MD simulation time scales. We do not wish to compare these G-quadruplexes to efficient natural ion channels. Yet, by "ion channel" in this context, we mean a tubular assembly inside of which ions can move along the axis. We also do not wish to sample such a motion by MD, but only to test tendencies to motion and relative behaviors among different ionic species.

27. The external ions were added in a shell around the G4w using a coulombic potential on a grid of 1 Å resolution to roughly minimize the electrostatic energy. The initial positions of the water molecules reproduced a snapshot from a room temperature equilibration for the TIP3P model.
