Abstract

Significance: This study focuses on the design of highly permeable artificial water channels for the use in membrane-based separation materials. A platform was developed for the systematic characterization of the single-channel water conduction of artificial channels, which is based on permeability measurement by stopped-flow light-scattering experiments and single-molecule counting by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. With this platform the water conduction of the redesigned peptide-appended pillar[5]arene channels was found to be similar to that of aquaporins, natural water channel proteins, and their synthetic analogs, carbon nanotubes, which is an order of magnitude higher than that of first-generation artificial water channels. The channel can also self-assemble into arrays in membranes, opening the possibility for materials that can be used in engineering applications such as liquid and gas separations.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
