摘要
Water is the most important component of all organisms and is the basis of all life. That water can pass through cell membranes has long been known-but how is the selective transport of water molecules achieved without concommitent diffusion of H3O+ ions? Peter Agre received the 2003 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery and investigation of the membrane proteins responsible, namely, the aquaproteins.
