The discovery of aquaporin channels was a brakthrough discovery relating to water transport in cells. Peter Agre's discovery of the aquaporin channel family, has answered a key question that had stumped biochmesists and cell biologists for years. This was, how is water abe to transport across the hydrophobic lipid bilayer so efficiently? When calculated, water transport is able to occure at a rate of about 10^9 molecukes per second.
