Response to Comment on “Enhanced water permeability and tunable ion selectivity in subnanometer carbon nanotube porins”
Abstract
Horner and Pohl argue that high water transport rates reported for carbon nanotube porins (CNTPs) originate from leakage at the nanotube-bilayer interface. Our results and new experimental evidence are consistent with transport through the nanotube pores and rule out a defect-mediated transport mechanism. Mechanistic origins of the high Arrhenius factor that we reported in this article for narrow CNTPs at pH 8 require further investigation.
