Aquaporins: Phylogeny, Structure, and Physiology of Water Channels

J. Bernard Heymann and Andreas Engel

J. B. Heymann and A. Engel are in the M. E. Müller Institute for Microscopic Structural Biology, Biozentrum, University of Basel, CH-4056 Basel, Switzerland.
How water permeates cellular membranes and what this means for cell functioning and several diseases are now emerging from the study of the aquaporins (AQPs), the water channel family. A combination of sequence analysis, three-dimensional structure determination, and physiology of the AQP family proteins provides a glimpse into the workings of water channels.
