Aquaporin 4
The discovery of aquaporin channels was a brakthrough discovery for wager transport in cells. When Peter Agre discovered the family of aquaporin channels, he 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.
