A biomimetic chiral-driven ionic gate. a I–V curves of the l-AP6 nanochannel in 0.1 M KCl electrolyte in the presence of 1 mM glucose enantiomers; b responsive switchability of the chiral-driven ionic gate: the variation in the reversible ionic currents of the l-AP6-modified nanochannel measured alternately at a constant voltage of −2 V with the addition and removal of d-Glu; c a bar graph of gating ratios Io/Iglucose at –2 V after adding the above saccharide enantiomers in a bare channel, AZO channel, and l-AP6 channel, respectively. Standard deviation is ±5% and is used for describing the error bars. Each dataset in two cases is tested five times, respectively
