through the use of simple amide coupling agents such as HATU.
These nanotubes carry an extensive array of oxygen atoms along
their interior surface but are found to preferentially transport
anions rather than cations. Moreover, lipophilicity and proper
length was found to be crucial, with the most active polymer
channel 1a carrying shorter octyl side chains and having a helical
height of 3.6 nm. This polymer-based channel (1) displays an
intrinsic excellent selectivity towards anions over cations, (2)
prefers iodide over other inorganic anions with iodide being
transported > 10 times better than chloride and (3) functions well
in cholesterol-rich environment. Anion selectivity was confirmed
and origin of such selectivity was elucidated by all atom MD
simulation studies. Given a high modularity in repeating units, a
broad variety of polyhydrazide-based nanotubes, which possess
a hollow cavity of wide-ranging diameters, can be readily
envisioned for interesting applications.

[22] There are several reasons that could explain the difference between
simulated and measured currents. (1) The applied potential is typically
concentrated to the transmembrane region, with limited effect on ion
entrance. That is, the high bias might wash out some barriers in the
middle of the channel, without affecting the barriers at the channel
entrance. This may explain why rectification is more pronounced at 1V.
(2) With regard to rectification, it is also possible that the terminal groups
in experiment do not maintain the same conformation as in simulations.
Such partial unwinding is more likely on the experimental time scale.
Without the charged group present right at the entrance of the channel,
the rectification phenomenon should not happen. (3) There are potential
inaccuracies regarding the channel structure and parameterization.
