Abstract
Aquporins are intrinsic membrane proteins that function as water channel to transport water and/or mineral nutrients across biological membranes. In this study, we aimed to clarify whether water structure can be changed by the presence of ceramics and whether such a change can be determined by aquaporin. First, we confirmed that ceramics could transform tap water into active tap water by increasing water permeability through aquaporin. We also found that this change in water permeability by treatment with ceramics occurred in distilled water. The distilled water was determined to exhibit the same aquaporin permeability as the original tap water. Our data indicate that the aquaporin permeability of water can be changed by severe physical shocks, such as slapping and sonication, which is consistent with the implication that the aquaporin permeability is closely related to the structure of the water. In this study, using aquaporins, we first reported that the treatment of water with ceramics can affect the structure of water, and the water can retain the structure for a given period under certain condition
