Hydraphile Cation Channels |
| Hydraphile channels use crown ethers as amphiphilic head groups and as entry portals to create a pore within a bilayer membrane. Cations transport through the channels, which exhibit classic open-close behavior typical of protein channels. |
Amphiphilic Peptides |
| A family of synthetic anion transporters (SATs) has been prepared. These extensively substituted peptide derivatives mediate the transport of chloride and other anions through phospholipid bilayers. |
Cation-pi Interaction |
Synthetic receptors have been used to define the interactions between alkali metal cations and benzene, phenol, and indole, the common amino acid arenes.
