UNUSUALLY LONG OPEN TIMES, DETERMINED BY PLANAR BILAYER CONDUCTANCES STUDIES, FOR A SYNTHETIC TRIS(MACROCYCLE) THAT FUNCTIONS AS A TRANSMEMBRANE CHANNEL IN A PHOSPHOLIPID-BILAYER
E. Abel et al., UNUSUALLY LONG OPEN TIMES, DETERMINED BY PLANAR BILAYER CONDUCTANCES STUDIES, FOR A SYNTHETIC TRIS(MACROCYCLE) THAT FUNCTIONS AS A TRANSMEMBRANE CHANNEL IN A PHOSPHOLIPID-BILAYER, Chemical communications, (12), 1997, pp. 1145-1146
Two tris(macrocycle)s are shown by bilayer clamp studies to function a
s cation channels in a phospholipid bilayer; one of the pair of closel
y related compounds shows unusually long open times compared either to
the other tris(macrocycle) or to natural channel-forming proteins.
