An ion transport switch based on light-responsive conformation-dependent G-quadruplex transmembrane channels

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Jul 26. doi: 10.1039/d1cc03273a. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA light-responsive ion transport switch has been developed based on conformation-dependent azobenzene-incorporated lipophilic G-quadruplex channels, which provides a new smart approach for the selective transport of K+ ions across the lipid membrane.PMID:34308935 | DOI:10.1039/d1cc03273a
