The depth of molecular recognition: voltage-sensitive blockage of synthetic multifunctional pores with refined architecture.

Voltage-sensitive blockage by ADP, ATP and phytate (IP6) demonstrates that active-site contraction toward the middle of newly synthesized rigid-rod beta-barrels provides a general strategy to rationally create and modulate the voltage sensitivity (and to increase the efficiency) of molecular recognition by synthetic multifunctional pores.
