✦ Synopsis


Phenylboronic acid simuimuously w-transports the ribonucleosidc, widine, andjltwride ion through an organic liquid membrane. The transport mechanism involves self-assembly of a lipophilic ion-pair wmprising of phenylboronic acid,fluoride ion, uridinc and tetra#yl ammonium cation. Act& widine transport (i.e. uphill transport against a wncwtmtion gmdient) occurs in the din&on ofajluoride km wncentmtion gradient.
