Aquaporin membrane protein C015 / 5922
Aquaporin membrane protein, molecular model. Aquaporins are membrane proteins that form channels (lower right) that help water molecules pass in and out of cells. Unlike ion channels, aquaporins help prevent ions and other dissolved substances carrying electrical charge from entering the cell, as they only allow lone water molecules or certain uncharged solutes to pass through. This helps maintain the electrochemical potential of the cell membrane. This example is from the bacterial plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Aquaporin membrane protein C015/5922, a vital component of cellular function. The molecular model depicted here reveals the intricate structure of aquaporins, which are membrane proteins responsible for facilitating the movement of water molecules in and out of cells. Unlike ion channels, aquaporins play a unique role by selectively allowing only lone water molecules or specific uncharged solutes to pass through their channels. This selective permeability helps maintain the electrochemical potential of cell membranes while preventing ions and other charged substances from entering. The example shown in this image is derived from Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a bacterial plant pathogen. Its white background enhances focus on the detailed illustration that represents biology at its finest. With its graphic representation and cut-out design, this artwork beautifully captures the structural and biochemical aspects of aquaporin proteins. It serves as a reminder of how these macromolecules contribute to homeostasis within cells and enable crucial processes such as water transport across biological membranes. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this stunning print combines artistry with scientific accuracy to showcase the beauty found within molecular biology. Whether you're an enthusiast in biochemistry or simply appreciate intricate designs inspired by nature's wonders, this piece is sure to captivate your imagination.
