| Abstract: | A lipophilic primary ammonium cation—crown ether complex was shown to mediate effectively active and passive transport of amino acid derivatives via proton/amino acid anion cotransport as well as anion/amino acid anion countertransport. It may offer a new chemical analog to amino group-containing carrier proteins and a prototype for an anion separation membrane. |
