Enhanced water permeability and tunable ion selectivity in subnanometer carbon nanotube porins

Abstract

Go with the flow: Enhanced water transport occurs in a number of narrow pore channels, such as biological aquaporins. Tunuguntla et al. thoroughly characterized molecular transport through narrow carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (see the Perspective by Siwy and Fornasiero). In contrast to previous studies, the authors focused on water and ion transport through relatively short (∼10-nm) fragments of CNTs embedded in lipid bilayer membranes. Strong confinement generated highly accelerated water flow compared with that observed in biological water transporters. A key factor in the transport rate was the tunable rearrangement of intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Furthermore, by changing the charges at the mouth of the nanotube, the authors were able to alter the ion selectivity. Science , this issue p. 792 ; see also p. 753

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.
