Biological Ion Transporters as Gating Devices for Chemomechanical and Chemoelectrical Energy Conversion
This dissertation presents a new class of engineered devices, fabricated from synthetic materials and protein transporters extracted from cell membranes of plants, that use chemomechanical and chemoelectrical energy conversion processes to perform mechanical and electrical work. The chemomechanical...
