Determining the mechanisms of flux through protein channels requires a combination of structural data, permeability measurement, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. To further clarify the mechanism of flux through aquaporin 1 (AQP1), osmotic p(f) (cm(3)/s/pore) and diffusion p(d) (cm(3)/s/pore) permeability coefficients per pore of H(2)O and D(2)O in AQP1 were calculated using MD simulations. We then compared the simulation results with experimental measurements of the osmotic AQP1… CONTINUE READING
