Can Stabilization and Inhibition of Aquaporins Contribute to Future Development of Biomimetic Membranes?

In recent years, the use of biomimetic membranes that incorporate membrane proteins, i.e., biomimetic-hybrid membranes, has increased almost exponentially. Key membrane proteins in these systems have been aquaporins, which selectively permeabilize cellular membranes to water. Aquaporins may be incor...
