Influences of electric fields on the operation of Aqy1 aquaporin channels: a molecular dynamics study
Literature Information
Z. Rahimi, A. Lohrasebi
The dynamics of water molecules inside an Aquaporin channel, embedded within a stochastically fluctuating membrane, was modeled by means of the application of the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method. We considered the effect of the existence and nonexistence of an external electric field, either constant or oscillating, on the stability of the channel. It was observed that the permeation of water molecules through the channel was increased when the channel was exposed to a constant electric field of strength −0.2 mV nm−1. Moreover, oscillating electric fields of 5 and 10 GHz frequencies, which is the range of field frequency generally present in our daily life, were applied to the channel, showing not significant effects on the stability of the channel and its important parts. In addition, we investigated the influence of the application of electric fields on the water molecule ordinations in the channels, and the results showed that the water molecule orientations were changed in response to the applied field.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
