Embodiment 1

[0065] Example 1. Dissolving PS-PAA directly in phosphate buffer at pH=7.2 in the presence of LDAO to form self-assembled vesicles

[0066] Materials and methods

[0067] Polystyrene-block-poly(acrylic acid), DDMAT-terminated (MW8000Da) (PS-PAA3000:5000, PDI3 ) 2 (CH 2 CHC 6 h 5 ) m (CH 2 CHCOOH) n SCSSC 12 h 25 ), where m=28 and n=70, and were used as received without any other purification. By adding 8g NaCl, 0.2g KCl, 1.44g Na 2 HPO 4 and 0.24g KH 2 PO 4 Dissolve in 800 mL MiliQ purified H 2 In O, the pH was adjusted to 7.2 with HCL and the volume was made up to 1 L to prepare a 10 mM phosphate solution (PBS) (pH 7.2, 136 mM NaCl, 2.6 mM KCl). N,N-Dimethyldodecylamine N-oxide BioXtra (lauryldimethylamine N-oxide) (99% purity), LDAO was purchased from Sigma Aldrich.

[0068] PS-PAA incorporated into AqpZ vesicles was prepared by LDAO-mediated direct lysis method. For this, 200 mg of PS-PAA powder was mixed with 0.5 mL of 5% LDAO stock solution and 195 mL of P...

Embodiment 2

[0072] Example 2. Purification of Universal Aquaporin and Preparation of Aquaporin Stock Solution

[0073] Recombinant Production of Aquaporin Z

[0074] Aquaporins All types and variants of aquaporins, including aquaporins, can be used to prepare membranes and compositions according to the invention, see the method described in WO2010 / 146365. Representative examples include the spinach aquaporin SoPIP2;l protein and the bacterial aquaporin-Z from E. coli.

[0075] Functional aquaporin-Z is overproduced in bacterial cultures of E. coli strain BL21(DE3) as a His-tagged protein with a tobacco etch virus cleavage site. The fusion protein has 264 amino acids and has a Mw of 27234 Da. Genomic DNA from E. coli DH5 was used as a source for amplifying the AqpZ gene. The AqpZ gene was amplified using gene-specific primers and a tobacco etch virus cleavage site (TEV) was added; ENLYFQSN is located at the N-terminus of AqpZ. The amplified AqpZ was digested with enzymes NdeI and BamHI...
