Abstract
<p>Inspired by the structure and dynamic functions of transmembrane proteins, we have developed a series of multiblock molecules having an alternating sequence of hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains. These amphiphilic molecules form unimolecular or supramolecular ion channels in lipid bilayer membranes, with responsiveness to external stimuli, such as osmotic pressure (tension), ligand addition, and electric fields. In addition, the molecules bearing phosphate ester groups allow directional control of molecular alignments in the membranes. This feature has great advantages for future applications in biological, medicinal and materials sciences.</p>
