Abstract
Five heptapeptide derivatives, [CH3(CH2)17]2NCOCH2OCH2CO-Gly-Gly-Gly-Pro-Gly-Gly-Gly-OR, in which R = ethyl, 2-propyl, heptyl, benzyl, and cyclohexylmethyl, were found to transport chloride anion through a phospholipid bilayer to varying extents dependent on the identity of R. It was concluded that the R group is a membrane anchor for the synthetic chloride channels.Entities:
