Abstract
Recent advances in artificial transmembrane transporters that may address the limitations of natural ion channels include a photoswitchable Cl− anion pump developed by Aprahamian et al., reported in Science,1 utilizing hydrazone units for active transport against the concentration gradient. This molecular transporter leverages light-induced isomerization to control anion grabbing and releasing, showing significant potential for drug discovery and molecular machinery.
