A polymeric membrane. The membrane can include a polymeric membrane made from a polymer selected from an aromatic sulfone polymer, polyamide, cellulose, cellulose acetate, polymethylmethacrylate, polyvinylalcohol, and polyacrylnitril, wherein the polymeric membrane has a major surface; a stilbenoid, isoflavone or flavone coated on the major surface of the polymeric membrane.

The present disclosure describes biomimetic membrane compositions with specifically designed angstrom-scale pores, particularly the continuum of pore sizes between 3 and 10 . Further provided are methods of redesigning a protein pore for a desired pore size. The redesigned protein pores and biomimetic membranes based on these proteins provide high selectivity while maintaining high permeability and have many advantages over existing aquaporin-based membranes.
