Description
In this work, we study peptide nanotubes comprised of α-amino acids and cyclic δ‐amino acids. Their stability when inserted in a lipid bilayer, as well as their utility as transmembrane channels is assesed, in order to elucidate their potential application as synthetic transmembrane channels; via Molecular Dynamics simulations.
