摘要
Recent advances in the understanding of biological transport and in the design of artificial transport systems have resulted from the structural elucidation of the K+ ion channel and from synthesis of artificial receptors for cations and anions, as well as neutral and zwitterionic organic molecules. Sensors, gated carriers, and self-assembling capsules and nanotubes are all important offsprings of current efforts to mimic natural transport across biomembranes.
