Nanoporous protein crystals: Long‐time Brownian dynamics simulations provide first insights into electrostatic and steric confinement effects on the mobility of probes in protein crystals. A transition is shown between the dominance of electrostatic effects for small ions and steric confinement for larger ions. The picture shows part of the trajectory of a charged probe through a pore of a lysozyme molecule.
