The hydration number was calculated by determining the number of water molecules within a certain cutoff distance of the permeating ion. The cutoff used was 2.8 Å for Na+ and 3.2 Å for K+. The hydration number values shown here have been averaged over the trajectory for the respective window. Error bars are shown in pink.
