Abstract

Design, synthesis, and esterase and ion channel activity of a novel barrel-stave supramolecule with hydrophobic exterior and histidine-rich interior are reported. Voltage-dependent binding of pyrenyl-8-oxy-1,3,6-trisulfonates by histidines within p-octiphenyl beta-barrels (and not monomers) via ionic (and not hydrophobic) interactions (K(D), K(I), K(M) < 1 microM) is the basis for superb esterolytic proficiency up to (k(cat)/K(M))/k(uncat) = 9.6 x 10(5) in water and bilayer membranes. The conductance of labile ion channels formed in planar bilayer membranes is shown to be reduced by 8-hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonate on the single- and multichannel level.
