Abstract excerpt
The influenza A/M2 protein is a homotetrameric single-pass integral membrane protein encoded by the influenza A viral genome. Its transmembrane domain represents both a crucial drug target and a minimalistic model system for transmembrane proton transport and charge stabilization. Recent structural and functional studies of M2 have suggested that the proton transport mechanism involves sequential extraviral...
