Aquaporin Gating: A New Twist to Unravel Permeation through Water Channels

Aquaporin Gating: A New Twist to Unravel Permeation through Water Channels

Aquaporins (AQPs) are small transmembrane tetrameric proteins that facilitate water, solute and gas exchange. Their presence has been extensively reported in the biological membranes of almost all living organisms. Although their discovery is much more recent than ion transport systems, different bi...
