Structure of the water-selective aquaporin AqpZ.
The cover depicts the structure of the newly-discovered, water-selective aquaporin AqpZ. Five water molecules are seen in the channel defining the conductance pathway. The painting represents a merging of science and mythology in which AqpZ traverses a membrane "sea" between the cytoplasmic underworld and an approaching rainstorm. (See Savage, et al.)
