Molecular dynamics simulations were performed for four members of the aquaporin family (AQP1, AQPZ, AQP0, and GlpF) in the explicit membrane environment. The single-channel water permeability, p(f), was evaluated to be GlpF similar to AQPZ > AQP1 >> AQP0, while their relative pore sizes were GlpF >> AQP1 > AQPZ > AQP0. This relation between pf and pore size indicates that water permeability was determined not only by the channel radius, but also another competing factor. Analysis of water dynamics revealed that this factor was the single-file nature of water transport. (c) 2005 Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
