Vargas Jentzsch A Matile S 2013 Halogen bonds have recently been introduced as ideal to transport anions across lipid bilayer membranes. However, activities obtained with small transporters were not impressive, and cyclic arrays of strong halogen-bond donors above a calix[4]arene scaffold gave even weaker activities. Here, we report that their linear alignment for anion hopping along transmembrane rigid-rod scaffolds gives excellent activities with an unprecedented cooperativity coefficient m = 3.37. application/pdf https://sonar.ch/global/documents/252283 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1021/ja4013276 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/23517007 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Journal of the American Chemical Society. - 2013 Halogens Lipid Bilayers Molecular Structure Transmembrane halogen-bonding cascades. http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
