Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamic chemical devices: modulation of contraction/extension molecular motion by coupled-ion binding/pH change-induced structural switching

TL;DR: This system represents a motional dynamic device which performs a mechano-chemical process, realizing alternating extension/contraction motions triggered by ion binding, and achieves a linear motor-type of action of very large stroke amplitude fueled by ionic processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Columnar self-assembled ureido crown ethers: an example of ion-channel organization in lipid bilayers.

TL;DR: The channel results are interpreted as arising from discreet stacks of ureido crown ethers where the transport of cations would occur via the macrocycles, admixed with larger pores formed by association of the crown ether headgroups around a central large pore.
Journal ArticleDOI

From Natural to Bioassisted and Biomimetic Artificial Water Channel Systems

TL;DR: The incipient development of the first artificial water channels systems is discussed, including only systems that integrate synthetic elements in their water selective translocation unit and exclude peptide channels because their sequences derive from the proteins in natural channels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hybrid organic-inorganic membranes with specific transport properties: Applications in separation and sensors technologies

TL;DR: In this article, the sol-gel process is used for the preparation of organic-inorganic hybrid materials, which offer specific advantages for the synthesis of artificial membranes exhibiting high selectivity and flux, as well as good thermal and chemical resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-assembly, structure, and dynamic interconversion of metallosupramolecular architectures generated by Pb(II) binding-induced unfolding of a helical ligand.

TL;DR: The triple features of self-organization, dynamic interconversion, and potential addressability displayed by the processes described trace a self-fabrication approach to nanoscience and nanotechnology.
