Molecular Mechanisms and Drug Development in Aquaporin Water Channel Diseases: Structure and Function of Aquaporins

The discovery of the water channel aquaporin has greatly expanded our understanding of the regulation of the water permeability of biological membranes. The atomic structure of aquaporin-1 (AQP1) demonstrated how aquaporin is freely permeated by water but not protons and provided marked insight into...
