+•[0141] …molecular adaptor…facilitates the interaction between the pore and the nucleotides.  The adaptor typically alters the charge of the barrel or channel of the pore or specifically interacts with or binds to nucleotides \\
+•[0142] The adaptor preferably constricts the barrel or channel so that it may interact with the nucleotides. \\
+•[0143] The adaptor is typically cyclic.  The adaptor preferably has the same symmetry as the pore.
 ==== - Covalent Attachment ====
+• [0149] The adaptor is covalently attached to the pore.\\
+• [0150] The site of covalent attachment is selected such that the adaptor is positioned at or near residue 139 of SEQ ID NO:2. **(This denotes the vertical position of the adaptor)**\\
