The study of peptide ion channels by electrochemical techniques

The synthesis of the gramicidin A (gA) analogue gram-2-(nicotinamido)ethyl carbamate (gAN) has been performed. Like gA itself, monomers of the nicotinamide analogue undergo self-assembly in lipid membranes to form K+ selective transmembrane ion channels. Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) ha...
