A water-soluble membrane transporter for biologically relevant cations

Yang, K, Boles, Jessica Emily, White, Lisa Jane, Hilton, Kira L.F., Lai, H. Y., Long, Y., Hiscock, Jennifer R. (2022) A water-soluble membrane transporter for biologically relevant cations. RSC Advances, 12 (43). pp. 27877-27880. ISSN 2046-2069. (doi:10.1039/D2RA05314D) (KAR id:96989)

Abstract

Synthetic ionophores are promising therapeutic targets, yet poor water solubility limits their potential for translation into the clinic. Here we report a water-soluble, supramolecular self-associating amphiphile that functions as a cation uniporter in synthetic vesicle systems, deriving mechanistic insight through planar bilayer patch clamp experiments.
