+description:
+    PoreAnalyser is a Python library for analysing (ion channel) pore profiles. We introduce an algorithm that employs 
+    ellipsoidal probe particles, enabling a more comprehensive characterization of pore asymmetries. A constriction is 
+    more asymmetric for a larger difference between the smaller and larger radius of the ellipsoidal probe particle.
+    Furthermore, we make use of the more accurate characterization of channel pores to refine a physical conductance 
+    model to obtain a heuristic estimate for single-channel conductance.
