Their ports of entry are sophisticated transport channels embedded in a cell's protective membrane. Regulating what kinds of cargo can pass through the borderlands formed by the cell's two-layer ...

into natural as well as synthetic cell membranes to form pores that mimic biological channels has been demonstrated. Despite their extremely simple structure, these CNT-membrane pores replicate ...

The complex structure—depicted on the cover of Science—was determined in greater detail than that of any cell membrane channel yet described. The structure can help reveal the molecular basis of often ...

Artificial Cell Membrane Channels Composed of DNA Can Be Opened and Locked With a Key May 10, 2022 — Scientists describe the design and construction of artificial membrane channels, engineered ...

was honored for his work with a different type of membrane channel: the ion channel. These passageways permit selected ions, notably potassium and sodium, to pass from cell to cell. Such signaling ...
