A number of synthetic ionchannels have been reported in recent years that incorporate unusual or sophisticated design elements. The present work demonstrates that extremely simple compounds can function as ionchannels (insert in bilayers, exhibit open–close behavior) if they meet minimum criteria. A simple membrane spanning structure may function as a channel if 1) it possesses polar headgroups (is

A structurally simple, novel, membrane-active ionophore has been designed, prepared, characterized, and shown to conduct Na+, Clâ, and carboxyfluorescein anions, probably as a dimer, across liposomal bilayers.
