Ion Selectivity in Synthetic and Natural Channels
Online Presentations | 31 Mar 2008 | Contributor(s):: Susan Rempe
Transport across membranes and nanopores can be characterized by static equilibrium properties as well as by nonequilibrium dynamic properties. For example, equilibrium selectivity properties of a nanopore can be characterized by the difference in interaction free energy for transferring one ion...

The Functional Protocell concept
Online Presentations | 23 Mar 2008 | Contributor(s):: Eric Jakobsson
We have invented and created the first prototype of the Functional Protocell.We define the “functional protocell" as a nanoporous solid surrounded by a membrane. The cavities in the solid can be filled with any desired electrolyte up to the limit of solubility. The surrounding membrane can...
