| Comments |
"In particular, current measurements during osmosis
did not indicate any detectable passive ion permeability or any solvent-drag of
ions in conditions where the water channels were known to operate, indicating
the eventual passage of at most 1 ion for every 2X10^5 water molecules (primary source)." |
