New discovery makes it easier to design synthetic proteins that rival their natural counterparts.
New discovery makes it easier to design synthetic proteins that rival their natural counterparts. In a recent publication in Nature, research led by the Ting Xu group demonstrates for the first time a synthetic materials that can selectively transport protons across membranes at rates similar to those found in transmembrane proteins. Natural proton channels require…
