The depth of molecular recognition: voltage-sensitive blockage of synthetic multifunctional pores with refined architecture.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Voltage-sensitive blockage by ADP, ATP and phytate (IP6) demonstrates that active-site contraction toward the middle of newly synthesized rigid-rod beta-barrels provides a general strategy to rationally create and modulate the voltage sensitivity (and to increase the efficiency) of molecular recognition by synthetic multifunctional pores.

Thermodynamic and kinetic stability of synthetic multifunctional rigid-rod beta-barrel pores: evidence for supramolecular catalysis.
The lessons learned from p-octiphenyl beta-barrel pores are applied to the rational design of synthetic multifunctional pore 1 that is unstable but inert, two characteristics proposed to be ideal for practical applications. Nonlinear dependence on monomer concentration provided direct evidence that pore 1 is tetrameric (n = 4.0), unstable, and "invisible," i.e., incompatible with structural stu...
متن کاملSynthetic multifunctional pores: deletion and inversion of anion/cation selectivity using pM and pH.
We report the characterization of multifunctional rigid-rod beta-barrel ion channels with either internal aspartates or arginine-histidine dyads by planar bilayer conductance experiments. Barrels with internal aspartates form cation selective, large, unstable and ohmic barrel-stave (rather than toroidal) pores; addition of magnesium cations nearly deletes cation selectivity and increases single...
متن کاملEnzyme screening with synthetic multifunctional pores: focus on biopolymers.
This report demonstrates that a single set of identical synthetic multifunctional pores can detect the activity of many different enzymes. Enzymes catalyzing either synthesis or degradation of DNA (exonuclease III or polymerase I), RNA (RNase A), polysaccharides (heparinase I, hyaluronidase, and galactosyltransferase), and proteins (papain, ficin, elastase, subtilisin, and pronase) are selected...
متن کاملCombined Three Mechanisms Models for Membrane Fouling during Microfiltration
Five new mathematical triple fouling models were developed to explore the flux decline behavior during the microfiltration. The first model was developed by the assumption of the successive effects of standard mechanism, intermediate pore blockage and cake formation by using the standard blocking flux expression in the model calculations. The second and third models also obtained by the success...
متن کاملCarbon Dioxide Capture on Metal-organic Frameworks with Amide-decorated Pores
CO2 is the main greenhouse gas emitted from the combustion of fossil fuels and is considered a threat in the context of global warming. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) schemes embody a group of technologies for the capture of CO2 from power plants, followed by compression, transport, and permanent storage. Key advances in recent years include the further development of ne...
