Abstract excerpt
The SARS-CoV-2 E protein conducts cations across the cell membrane to cause pathogenicity to infected cells. The high-resolution structures of the E transmembrane domain (ETM) in the closed state at neutral pH and in the open state at acidic pH have been determined. However, the ion conduction mechanism remains elusive. Here, we use solid-state NMR spectroscopy to investigate the side chain structure, dynamics,...
