Abstract excerpt
It is widely known that any disruption to the water regulation in aquaporins (AQPs) leads to numerous important diseases. However, studies of dynamics and energetics of disease-causing mutations in the aquaporins on the molecular level are still limited. In the present work, the effects of a skin disease-causing mutant, R188C, on the structure of AQP5 and water transport mechanism within this mutated aquaporin...
