{"product_id":"molecular-biology-and-physiology-of-wate","title":"Molecular Biology And Physiology Of Wate","description":"Biophysical studies in the 1950ies and 1960ies led to the  realization that the water permeability of certain biological  membranes must be due to the presence of water transporting proteins.  This hypothesis was                            confirmed in 1991 and 1992 with the pioneering  discovery of the first molecular membrane water channel, CHIP28, by  Agre and coworkers. This integral membrane protein, which is abundant  in the erythrocyte membrane and in                            many epithelial cells, is now  called aquaporin-1 or AQP1. Thus the terms water channel or aquaporin  are synonymous.\u003cbr\u003e  In July 2000 more than 200 researchers came together in Gothenburg,  Sweden, for the `3rd                            International Conference on the Molecular Biology  and Physiology of Water and Solute Transport\" to discuss progress in  this emerging research field. 58 different presentations from this  conference are the basis for this                            book. Cumulatively, these 58 short  chapters provide a balanced overview complementing numerous recent  reviews in this field.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57311800820094,"sku":"NW9780306465017","price":95.22,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780306465017.jpg?v=1778584731","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/molecular-biology-and-physiology-of-wate","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
