TRANSMEMBRANE PORES FORMED BY AROMATIC OLIGOAMIDE FOLDAMERS AND USES OF SAME

摘要

Provided are aromatic oligoamide foldamers and self-assembled compositions of the same. The aromatic oligoamide foldamers and compositions can form tube-like structures that can form pores in membranes. The pores can be used to transport ions and molecules, such as, for example, cryoprotective agents or therapeutic agents, through the membrane. The tube-like structures exhibit desirable stability at low temperatures.
