Abstract
⺠Plasmodium falciparum PfAQP conducts water, E. coli EcGlpF does not. ⺠Sorbitol inhibits PfAQP water and glycerol permeability but not that of EcGlpF. ⺠The extracellular vestibule of PfAQP is a possible binding site for sorbitol. ⺠PfAQP prefers glycerol when exposed to mixed hypertonic glycerol-urea gradients.
