Abstract

The prospects of application of graphene and related structures as the membrane mimetic materials, capable of reproducing several biomembrane functions up to the certain limit, are analyzed in the series of our papers. This paper considers the possibility of the ion channel function modeling using graphene and its derivatives. The physical mechanisms providing selective permeability for different membrane mimetic materials, as well as the limits of the adequate simulation of the transport, catalytic, sensing and electrogenic properties of the cell membrane ion channels using bilayered graphene-based structures are discussed.
