Employment of Synthetic Ion Transporters to Disrupt Ionic Homeostasis in LUVs and Cells

Abstract

The thesis entitled “Employment of Synthetic Ion Transporters to Disrupt Ionic Homeostasis in LUVs and Cells” exemplifies the biological implications of a variety of synthetic anionophores. This thesis covers the recognition of the ions, transmembrane transport properties and possible therapeutic applications. The thesis has been divided into five chapters based on the experimental results gathered during the entire research period.
