Self‐assembled transporter : Self‐association of a partial‐cone calixarene amide provides membrane‐active aggregates that enable the transport of chloride anions across phospholipid membranes (see picture). Additionally, a regulatory system is described, wherein an inactive calixarene analogue inhibits the active chloride transporter.
