Artificial Water Channels ― Faraday Discussion 209

Evolving rapidly, the field of artificial water channels is expected to offer new strategies to generate highly selective, advanced materials for water purification systems. The development of synthetic biomimetic artificial water-channels and pores is key to a better understanding of the natural function of protein channels. This book will have a strong emphasis on the key challenges in the area for example in the biophysics of protein water channels, biomimetics and what we may learn from natural proteins and synthesis and design of highly selective water channels.

Faraday Discussions documents a long-established series of Faraday Discussion meetings which provide a unique international forum for the exchange of views and newly acquired results in developing areas of physical chemistry, biophysical chemistry and chemical physics. The papers presented are published in the Faraday Discussion volume together with a record of the discussion contributions made at the meeting. Faraday Discussions therefore provide an important record of current international knowledge and views in the field concerned. The latest (2016) impact factor of Faraday Discussions is 3.588.
