Abstract: | Nature has provided a specific protein channel for each molecule to achieve rapid transport across the cell membrane. The
number of molecules exchanged in this process is as large as 109 per second. This article discusses this year’s Chemistry
Nobel Prize which was awarded for the discovery of the water channel —aquaporins and the elucidation of the structure ofpotassium ion channels. |
