Septins are GTP-binding proteins that are highly conserved among eukaryotes and which are usually membrane-associated. They have been linked to several critical cellular functions such as exocytosis and ciliogenesis, but little mechanistic detail is...

Sub-nanometre mapping of the aquaporin-water interface with multifrequency atomic force microscopy (2016)
Journal Article
Ricci, M., Quinlan, R., & Voïtchovsky, K. (2017). Sub-nanometre mapping of the aquaporin-water interface with multifrequency atomic force microscopy. Soft Matter, 13(1), 187-195. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6sm00751a

Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins that regulate the transport of water and small molecules in and out of the cell. In eye lens tissue, circulation of water, ions and metabolites is ensured by a microcirculation system in which aquaporin-0 (AQ...
