Ion transport across thin lipid membranes: a critical discussion of mechanisms in selected systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the role of 1-carriets in the transfer of ions across thin lipid bilayer membranes is presented, focusing on simpler systems, i.e., the lipid-soluble ions, the 1-1 carriets, a simple pore and a substance which prodeces interacting pores.

Cyclodepsipeptides as chemical tools for studying ionic transport through membranes

TL;DR: The studies have clearly shown the feasibility of using cyclodepsipeptides with predetermined structural and conformational parameters as chemical tools for membrane studies and it is suggested that the principle of conformation-dependent cation binding through iondipole interactions may possibly lie at the basis of the mode of action of systems governing the natural ion permeability in biological membranes.

Temperature dependence of amide proton chemical shifts: the secondary structures of gramicidin S and valinomycin.

TL;DR: The present work, in addition to demonstrating the temperature method for elucidating secondary structure of polypeptides, may be taken as a confirmation of the gramicidin S and valinomycin structures.

Conformational studies of peptide systems. The rotational states of the NH--CH fragment of alanine dipeptides by nuclear magnetic resonance.

TL;DR: The conformation of the 7-membered hydrogen-bonded ring of the dipeptides has been elucidated and an empirically found stereochemical dependence of the constant 3 J NHCH upon the dihedral angle θ of the fragment has served as basis for discussing the possible conformations of the extended form of the Dipeptide molecules in polar solvents.
