The present invention provides a computer-assisted method of generating a protonophore requiring the use of a computer including a processor. The method includes: designing the protonophore, calculating, using the processor, an estimated protonophoric activity; producing the protonophore if the estimated protonophoric activity corresponds to an U
50
of about 20 μM or less; and determining the uncoupling activity of the protonophore. The present invention also provides novel protonophores that meet the above requirement and their methods of use.
