The C- and N-Terminal Residues of Synthetic Heptapeptide Ion Channels Influence Transport Efficacy Through Phospholipid Bilayers
{{output}}
The synthetic peptide, R(2)N-COCH(2)OCH(2)CO-Gly-Gly-Gly-Pro-Gly-Gly-Gly-OR', was shown to be selective for Cl(-) over K(+) when R is n-octadecyl and R' is benzyl. Nineteen heptapeptides have now been prepared in which the N-terminal and C-terminal residues ha... ...
