摘要: Aquaporin-Z (AqpZ) are water channel proteins with excellent permeability and solute rejection properties. AqpZ can be reconstituted into vesicles utilizing cell-like bilayer membranes assembled from amphiphilic block copolymers, for the preparation of high-performance biomimetic membranes. However, only a few copolymers have been found suitable to act as membrane matrix protein reconstitution. Hence, this work analyzes mechanism reconstitution based on composition-reconstitution relationship. The vesicle formation processes in various were investigated terms size, morphology, stability, polymeric rigidity, thermal behavior. Overall, study contributes understanding relationship AqpZ-reconstituted vesicles.
