Schematic representation of the effect of AqpZ incorporation into the PMOXA-PDMS-PMOXA vesicle wall. (A) Before AqpZ incorporation, water trapped inside the vesicle cannot escape, and solutes and water from the exterior cannot enter the vesicle. (B) Upon AqpZ incorporation, water leaves the vesicles via the channel protein, but solutes cannot enter the vesicle. As a result, the vesicle shrinks.
