In-situ fabrication of nucleic acid molecular machines in biological environments is desirable for smart theranostic applications. However, given the complex nature environments, integration multiple functional modules into a coordinated machine remains challenging. Recent advances nanotechnology offer solutions to these challenges. Here, we outline design principles acid–based tailored physiological conditions, drawing on recent examples. We review cutting-edge technologies that facilitate their functionalization settings, particularly presynthesis modifications using unnatural bases and postsynthesis via bioorthogonal chemistry noncovalent interactions. discuss advantages limitations suggest future directions overcome existing

Abstract Biological ion channels achieve remarkable permselectivity and cation discrimination through the synergy of their intricate architectures specialized ionophores within confined nanospaces, enabling efficient energy conversion. Emulating such selectivity in synthetic nanochannels, however, remains a persistent challenge. To address this, novel host‐guest assembly membrane is developed by incorporating sodium‐selective into β‐ketoenamine‐linked covalent organic framework (COF). This design confers exceptional Na + selectivity, achieving /K /Li ratios 3.6 103, respectively, along with near‐perfect /Cl − under 0.5 M || 0.01 salinity gradient. Notably, dynamically switches its to favor anion transport presence high‐valent cations (e.g., Ca 2+ ), overcoming limitations as uphill diffusion back currents observed conventional cation‐selective membranes. adaptive behavior yields 4.6‐fold increase output power density ‐rich environments. These findings advance biomimetic nanochannels unparalleled enhanced conversion efficiency.

The modulation of molecular recognition underpins numerous wide-ranging applications and has inspired the development a myriad switchable receptors, in particular photo- or redox-responsive hosts. Herein, we report highly versatile three-state cation receptor family switch system based on an overcrowded alkene strapped with crown ethers, which can be switched by both redox light stimuli, thereby combining advantages approaches. Specifically, neutral switches quantitatively converted between anti- syn-folded geometries irradiation, leading to discovery significant increase decrease binding affinity, was exploited shuttle pseudorotaxane-forming dibenzylammonium guest ethers slightly different sizes. Alternatively, two-electron oxidation orthogonal, dicationic, nonvolatile state completely turns off host, ejecting guest. Upon reduction, metastable is first formed, then thermally relaxes, resulting unique, autonomous, cation-dependent multistate switching cascade.

Traditional desalination methods face criticism due to high energy requirements and inadequate trace ion removal, whereas natural light-driven pumps offer superior efficiency. Current synthetic systems are constrained by short exciton lifetimes, which limit their ability generate sufficient electric fields for effective pumping. We introduce an innovative approach utilizing covalent-organic framework membranes that enhance light absorption reduce charge recombination through vertical gradient protonation of imine linkages during acid-catalyzed liquid-liquid interfacial polymerization. This technique creates intralayer interlayer heterojunctions, facilitating hybridization establishing a robust built-in field under illumination. These improvements enable the achieve remarkable transport across extreme concentration gradients (2000:1), with rate approximately 3.2 × 10
