Behind the Paper

Reversible unwinding-rewinding of bis(indole) double helix to chloride-coordinated supramolecular channel

The bis(indole)-based double helix system closely mimics the unwinding-rewinding behavior of the DNA double helix that unwinds in the presence of chloride ion to form a supramolecular polymer, which shows excellent anion transport activity across the bilayer membrane via ion channel formation.
