Question
How do two alpha-helices at the constriction point of the Aquaporin 5
transporter protein prevent H3O+ molecules from forming a H+ wire that
prevents the transport of H₂O molecules across the membrane?
alpha-helices have inverted dipoles that reorient H₂O molecules in the
channel to break H₂O/H₂O H-bonds.
alpha-helices are amphipathic and can reorient H₂O molecules in the
channel to break H₂O/H₂O H-bonds
O alpha-helices have inverted dipoles that reorient H3O+ molecules in the
channel to form H3O*/ H3O+ H-bonds.
O alpha-helices have parallel dipoles that align H₂O molecules in the
channel to break H₂O/H2₂O H-bonds.
alpha-helices have Lys residues that reorient H₂O molecules in the
channel to break H₂O/H₂O H-bonds.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Aquaporin 5

It refers to the water channel protein which is involved in the generation of saliva, tears, and pulmonary secretions. It is involved in the transport of water across the plasma membrane.
