Isolated gap junction plaques contain hexagonal crystalline arrays of membrane channels called connexons which are a suitable specimen for electron crystallography. Image analysis of gap junction lattices has shown that while there is sufficient lattice order for structural analysis to ∼25 Å, there is enough disorder in both the lattice and the connexon to create a family of related images. This review is focused on how these images can be interpreted in terms of what is known about both the connexon and its constituent protein, connexin.
