Structure and function of water channels
Curr Opin Struct Biol.
2002 Aug.
Abstract
All aquaporins are efficient water transporters, while sustaining strict selectivity, even against protons, thereby maintaining the proton gradient across the cell membrane. Recently solved structures of these membrane channels have helped us to understand this remarkable property.
