Abstract excerpt
Aquaporins (AQPs) are α-helical transmembrane proteins that conduct water through membranes with high selectivity and permeability. For human AQP1, in addition to the functional Asn-Pro-Ala motifs and the aromatic/Arg selectivity filter within the pore, there are several highly conserved residues that form an expansive hydrogen-bonding network. Previous solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance studies and...
