Abstract
An increasing number of synthetic compounds have been shown to facilitate ion and polar molecule transport across bilayer membranes. Most notably, recent advances in anion transport have yielded synthetic chloride channels and phospholipid translocases. Attention has also turned to the ability of short amino acid sequences to transport peptides and proteins across cellular membranes.
