Artificial Foldamer (AF) Superfamily

Several artificial channel-types capable of transporting various substrates have been designed. These include families 1.D.25, 1.D.179, 1.D.225, 1.D.281 and 1.D.295. They are all based on the foldamer principle.

1.D.25 - The Arylamine Foldamer (AAF) Family
1.D.179 - The Hybrid Pyridine-Pyridone Foldamer Channel (HPPFC) Family
1.D.225 - The Sulfur-containing Foldamer-based artificial Lithium Channel (SF-LCh) Family
1.D.281 - Aromatic Foldamer-derived Transmembrane Transporter (AFTT) Family
1.D.295 - The Fluorofoldamer-based Water Channel (FF-AWC) Family
