Abstract excerpt
Molecular dynamics simulations of aquaporin Z homotetramer which is a membrane protein facilitating rapid water movement through the plasma membrane of Escherichia coli were performed. Initial configurations were taken from the open and closed states of crystal structures separately. The resulting water osmotic permeability (pf) and diffusive permeability (pd) displayed distinct features. Consistent with previous...
