Synthetic ion channels
Synthetic ion channels are de novo chemical compounds that insert into lipid bilayers, form pores, and allow ions to flow from one side to the other. They are man-made analogues of natural ion channels, and are thus also known as artificial ion channels. Compared to biological channels, they usually allow fluxes of similar magnitude but are 1.
* minuscule in size (less than 5k Dalton vs. > 100k Dalton), 2.
* diverse in molecular architecture, and 3.
* may rely on diverse supramolecular interactions to pre-form the active, conducting structures.
