Abstract:
... The biomimetic membrane technology may unlock unprecedented membrane separation capabilities to solve the increasing need for clean water. Despite the efforts in exploring numerous membrane preparation methods, the membrane performance achieved to date is still far from the theoretical predictions. To overcome this bottleneck, a deeper understanding of the role of the channels or vesicles immobili ...

Abstract:
... One of the most intriguing properties of plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP) aquaporins (AQPs) is their ability to modulate water transport by sensing different levels of intracellular pH through the assembly of homo‐ and heterotetrameric molecular species in the plasma membrane. In this work, using a phenomenological modeling approach, we demonstrate that cooperativity in PIP biological respo ...

They compose a family of 13 different isoforms (25–34 kDa) in mammals that have been identified to date. These AQPs exhibit a unique pattern of tissue expression. Though they can be found in most tissues, they are mostly active in endothelial and e ...

Abstract:
... Two-dimensional (2D) lamellar membranes are highly advantageous in molecular separations. However, the permeance-rejection trade-off is always a major challenge, since the permeant transport mostly occurs in single-spacing channels with undesired microenvironments. Inspired by the structure of aquaporins, we design alternating dual-spacing channel graphene oxide (GO) membranes, with locally tailor ...

Abstract:

Among these mechanisms, the accumulation of specific proteins such as dehydrins (DHNs) and aquaporins (AQPs) can protect other proteins from damage during dehydration and may allow the control of water loss, respectively. Although both types of proteins are involved in plant protection against dehydration stre ...

Inspired by the highly efficient water transport presented in hourglass-shaped aquaporin channels, molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to study water desalination in carbon nanocones (CNCs). Their desalination performance (salt rejection, water flow) depends on the cone size, angle, and flow direction (nonequilibrium). Free energy calculations reveal that ultrasmall CNCs with apex angles ...
