Ionophore constructed from non-covalent assembly of a G-quadruplex and liponucleoside transports K+-ion across biological membranes
DNA based ionophores can mediate efficient ion transport and are crucial to understand the biological role of their natural counterparts. Here authors engineer a telomeric DNA G-quadruplex based ionophore which transports K+ in a stimuli responsive manner.
