2011 JAN 14 -- New research, 'Kinetic analysis of the M2 proton conduction of the influenza virus,' is the subject of a report. According to a study from the United States, "The M2 protein of the flu virus forms a proton selective channel that is necessary for viral replication. The channel has a slow rate of conduction but attains near perfect selectivity for protons."

"Many models have been proposed to explain the mechanism of proton conduction based on whole cell channel recordings and molecular dynamics simulations, but a detailed kinetic analysis of the channel activity has not yet been performed. We obtained detailed conduction vs pH measurements for...
