DOI: 10.1002/cmdc.202200070
Abstract: In this study we prepared aqueous solutions of lipid‐membrane incorporated tetraarylporphyrins and tetrapyridylporphyrin (LMIPors) by the injection method using dimethyl sulfoxide. The porphyrins with proton‐donor groups at the meso position afforded stable aqueous solutions of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.macromol.4c01874
Abstract: There is a long-term interest in creating artificial biomimetic membranes where self-assembled phospholipid bilayers are selectively permeabilized by synthetic channel-like molecules. One example is the coassembly of amphiphilic block copolymers with phospholipids into a hybrid… read more here.
