A team of MIT chemists has recently discovered the structure of a protein, BM2, that is integral to the structure of influenza B. This protein acts as a proton channel, a membrane protein that allows protons (also called hydrogen ions or H+) to pass into the virus. Normally, these ions would be blocked by theContinue reading “MIT chemists map the structure of an integral influenza protein channel”
