Aquaporins: the molecular basis of facilitated water movement through living plant cells?
Osmotic effects observed with living cells indicate that their plasma membranes are freely permeable to water while essentially creating a barrier to other molecules. The hydraulic conductivity of biological membranes is sometimes still ascribed to the simple diffusion of water molecules through the lipid bilayer. However, more than 30 years ago the idea was advanced that hydraulic water moveme...
متن کاملSignificance of oxygen transport through aquaporins
Aquaporins are membrane integral proteins responsible for the transmembrane transport of water and other small neutral molecules. Despite their well-acknowledged importance in water transport, their significance in gas transport processes remains unclear. Growing evidence points to the involvement of plant aquaporins in CO2 delivery for photosynthesis. The role of these channel proteins in the ...

and take over the discipline. If we want to make sure that the biology of the future preserves our hard-won biological perspectives, knowledge and insights, we need to be able to do the analyses and deal with all these data ourselves. For young scientists embarking on a PhD, make sure your PhD topic is something you love, and that your question is one whose answer you care deeply about. Don’t s...
متن کاملOptimizing water permeability through the hourglass shape of aquaporins.
The ubiquitous aquaporin channels are able to conduct water across cell membranes, combining the seemingly antagonist functions of a very high selectivity with a remarkable permeability. Whereas molecular details are obvious keys to perform these tasks, the overall efficiency of transport in such nanopores is also strongly limited by viscous dissipation arising at the connection between the nan...
متن کاملPerception Is Movement, Movement Is Perception
In this paper, the function of receptive and processing neurons is distinguished from that of neuronal circuits. The former, which are inside the circuits, collect and elaborate sensorial information to build “objects” which are spatially and temporally well-structured and vary in intensity. These objects are the modal components of sensory systems: hot/cold, smooth/rough, green, table, sound, ...
