The cell, as the most fundamental unit of life, is a microcosm of biology in which the
confluence of nearly all aspects of classical physics (mechanics, statistical physics …

Bioinspired and biomimetic membranes that contain biological transport channels or attain
their structural designs from biological systems have been through a remarkable …

Synthetic polymer membranes, critical to diverse energy-efficient separations, are subject to
permeability-selectivity trade-offs that decrease their overall efficacy. These trade-offs are …

For energy supply to biomimetic constructs, a complex chemical energy-driven ATP-
generating artificial system was built. The system was assembled with bottom-up detergent …

Biological membranes are ideal for separations as they provide high permeability while
maintaining high solute selectivity due to the presence of specialized membrane protein …

The application of membrane proteins in biotechnology requires robust, durable
reconstitution systems that enhance their stability and support their functionality in a range of …

Monodispersed angstrom-size pores embedded in a suitable matrix are promising for highly
selective membrane-based separations. They can provide substantial energy savings in …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are naturally occurring water channel proteins. They can facilitate water
molecule translocation across cellular membranes with exceptional selectivity and high …

Cell membranes control mass, energy, and information flow to and from the cell. In the cell
membrane a lipid bilayer serves as the barrier layer, with highly efficient molecular …

Mutations and changes in a protein's environment are well known for their potential to
induce misfolding and aggregation, including amyloid formation. Alternatively, such …
