Development of biomimetic, hybrid protein-synthetic membranes: determining protein insertion efficiency, membrane material suitability and relevance of aquaporin Z
… such as the bacterial water channel protein aquaporin Z (AqpZ), embedded in a lipid bilayer or a polymer that mimics a cell’s natural lipid bilayer. Permeability and stability pose critical barriers to implementation of biomimetic AqpZ-based membranes. To achieve maximum permeability, it is …

The stability of phospholipid and biomimetic polymer vesicles
… and incorporate membrane proteins, such Aquaporin Z (AqpZ). PMOXA-PDMS-PMOXA (ABA) triblock co-polymers have demonstrated similar properties as phospholipids and incorporate AqpZ. Previous research conducted on AqpZ:ABA vesicles showed permeabilities exceeding commercial RO membranes and …
