Artificial ion channels that enable high-efficiency ion transport have important implications in
nanofluidics and biomedical applications such as drug delivery. Herein, we show a …

Understanding viral peptide detection and partitioning and the subsequent host membrane
composition-based response is essential for gaining insights into the viral mechanism. Here …

Abstract Human aquaporin 2 (AQP2) from the family of aquaporins assumes great
physiological importance, owing to its association with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus …

The viroporin p7 of the hepatitis C virus forms multimeric channels eligible for ion transport
across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Currently the subject of many studies and …

Urea transporters are membrane proteins that selectively allow urea molecules to pass
through. It is not clear how these transporters allow rapid conduction of urea, a polar …

Synthetic ion channels are a promising technology in the medical and materials sciences
because of their ability to conduct ions. Channels based on cyclodextrin, a cyclic oligomer of …

Ion channels exhibit a remarkably high accuracy in selecting uniquely its associated type of
ion. The mechanisms behind ion selectivity are not well understood. Current explanations …

Formate channels play a crucial role in the metabolism of several different kinds of bacteria
by bringing about uptake and export of formate ions. The current study investigates the …

Ion channels selectively allow certain ions to pass through at much higher rates than others,
and thereby modulate ionic concentrations across cell membranes. The current molecular …

Ion channels are proteins present across the lipid bilayer membrane possessing a pore that
selectively allows certain ions to pass through. They control various cellular processes and …
