FUNCTIONALIZED BETA-SHEET PEPTIDE STABILIZED MEMBRANE PROTEINS, CONSTRUCTS COMPRISING SAME, AND METHODS OF FORMING AND USING SAME

摘要

Constructs having membrane proteins stabilized by functionalized beta-sheet peptides are provided. The constructs can be associated with or covalently linked to supports. The support can be a membrane. The membrane can be used to selectively move desired particles from one side of the membrane to the other while impeding passage of undesired particles through the membrane. Methods of making and using such constructs and membranes are provided.
