Water conduction through the hydrophobic channel of a carbon nanotube
TL;DR: Observations suggest that carbon nanotubes, with their rigid nonpolar structures, might be exploited as unique molecular channels for water and protons, with the channel occupancy and conductivity tunable by changes in the local channel polarity and solvent conditions.

Appearance of water channels in Xenopus oocytes expressing red cell CHIP28 protein.
TL;DR: Oocytes from Xenopus laevis microinjected with in vitro-transcribed CHIP28 RNA exhibited increased osmotic water permeability; this was reversibly inhibited by mercuric chloride, a known inhibitor of water channels, so it is likely that ChIP28 is a functional unit of membrane water channels.

Self-assembled organic monolayers: model systems for studying adsorption of proteins at surfaces
TL;DR: Self-assembled monolayers of omega-functionalized long-chain alkanethiolates on gold films are excellent model systems with which to study the interactions of proteins with organic surfaces and the ability to create interfaces with similar structures and well-defined compositions should make it possible to test hypotheses concerning protein adsorption.
