Peter Agre (2011) - Aquaporin Water Channels: From Atomic Structure to Malaria

The aquaporin water channel proteins confer high water permeability to biological membranes. Discovered in human red cells, AQP1 has been thoroughly characterized biophysically, and the atomic structure of AQP1 has been elucidated. Twelve homologous proteins have been identified in humans
