Using circular diehroism, this study investigated the secondary structure of the influenza A M2 transmembrane domain. When reconstituted into 1,2-dioleoyl-stl-glyc~ro-3-phosphecholine liposolneS, the M2 transmembrane domain was found to adopt a predominantly a-helical secondary structure which was unaffected by both temperature and the addition of l-aminoadamantane hydrochloride. Reeonstitution into 1,2.dioleoyl-snglycero.3.phosphoglycerol liposomes resulted in a marked decrease in helical content.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
