Understanding structural dynamics of biomolecules at the single-molecule level is vital to
advancing our knowledge of molecular mechanisms. Currently, there are few techniques …

Human red cell AQP1 is the first functionally defined member of the aquaporin family of
membrane water channels. Here we describe an atomic model of AQP1 at 3.8 Å resolution …

The permeability and solute transport characteristics of amphiphilic triblock-polymer vesicles
containing the bacterial water-channel protein Aquaporin Z (AqpZ) were investigated. The …

The plasma membrane's main constituents, ie, phospholipids and membrane proteins, are
known to be organized in lipid-protein functional domains and supercomplexes. No active …

Aquaporins are water channel proteins with excellent water permeability and solute
rejection, which makes them promising for preparing high-performance biomimetic …

In the history of science and technology, researchers have always undertaken endeavors to
