ChemInform Abstract: Biomimetic Ion Transport: A Functional Model of a Unimolecular Ion Channel.
Abstract
A mixture of the regio- and stereoisomers of the macrocycle (VII) and its analogues obtained from (V) and (VIII) (instead of (IV)) is used to form a unimolecular ion channel.
ChemInform Abstract
A mixture of the regio- and stereoisomers of the macrocycle (VII) and its analogues obtained from (V) and (VIII) (instead of (IV)) is used to form a unimolecular ion channel. A large unilamellar vesicle with an imposed pH gradient shows a fast collapse in the presence of (VII). This effect is accelerated when a proton carrier is added.
