The structure of water molecules inside (6, 6) carbon nanotube under two different conditions are studied using molecular dynamics simulation. The structural and thermodynamic properties of the single-file water chain along the nanotube help to determine the hydrogen bonds between water molecules inside the channel. The properties of the systems show that induced pressure and ionic environment have similar effects on the structure of the inner water molecules. However, the Na+ and Cl− ions lead the number of hydrogen bonds inside the nanotube to fluctuate a little more greatly than that under the induced pressure.

Transcellular water movement occurs mainly through water channels where water molecules move in single file. These channels, which explain the large water permeability of the proximal tubule cells, are closed by mercurial sulfhydryl reagents. There are similarities between these channels and those of human red cells and those that appear in distal nephron segments and toad urinary bladder after antidiuretic hormone stimulation.
