Aquaporins, which are membrane proteins of interest due to their properties of fast water transport and water selectivity, were mimicked by hourglass-shaped nanopores with a positive charge. Upon investigation of water transport phenomenon in these nanopores, by varying the hydrophobicity of the inner surface, a maximum water flux of 29ns−1 was obtained at a hydrophobic state of θpore=101°, and this...
Aquaporin water channels enable fast water transport while maintaining the resistance against protons and ions. We mimic this aquaporin with a rigid or flexible hourglass-shaped nanopore in our molecular dynamics simulation. The simulation was non-equilibrium one with applied uniform external forces with the purpose of mimicking osmosis-driven flows. The simplified computational model successfully...
