Abstract excerpt
The M(2) ion channel of influenza A virus is a small integral membrane protein whose active form is a homotetramer with each polypeptide chain containing 96-amino-acid residues. To identify residues of the transmembrane (TM) domain that line the presumed central ion-conducting pore, a set of mutants was generated in which each residue of the TM domain (residues 25 to 44) was replaced by cysteine. The...
