Researchers at the ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ have succeeded in building protein gates for artificial nano-vesicles that become transparent only under specific conditions. The gate responds to certain pH values, triggering a reaction and releasing active agents at the desired location.
Natural channel proteins are integrated into artificial membranes to facilitate the transport of ions and molecules. Researchers at the ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ have now been able to measure the movement of these channel proteins for the first time.
