In January, 2008, crystallographic and NMR structures were published side by side for the transmembrane domains of the M2 protein: [[3bkd]] and [[2rlf]]. The former appeared to be in an open conformation blocked by amantadine, while the latter appeared to be in a closed conformation stabilized by rimantadine. | In January, 2008, crystallographic and NMR structures were published side by side for the transmembrane domains of the M2 protein: [[3bkd]] and [[2rlf]].

At right is a linear-interpolation morph between 3BKD and 2RLF, showing the proposed opening and closing of this channel. | At right is a linear-interpolation morph between 3BKD and 2RLF, showing the proposed opening and closing of this channel.
