Albumin is a large protein which circulates freely in human plasma. Another type of protein, called aquaporins, act as channels for water to enter and exit a cell, and are located within the lipid bilayer of a cell’s plasma membrane. Based on their physiological locations, how would the tertiary structure of these two proteins mostly likely compare?
