Conformation changes occur in the TMD and CTD, both of which are heavily influenced by the presence of Zn<sup>2+</sup>. The conformation change directly involved with Zn<sup>2+</sup>/H<sup>+</sup> antiport occurs in the TMD as helix pivoting controls what environment site A is available to. Conformation change occurs when the transmembrane helix pairs TM1, TM2, TM4, and TM5 pivot around cation binding site.<ref>PMID:23341604</ref> It is believed that the energy for TMD conformation change comes from energy of binding each substrate. Changing to the outward from the inward-facing conformation causes a shift in <scene name='69/694233/Transmembrane_helix_5/2'>TM5</scene> which disrupts the tetrahedral geometry of active site A. This in turn decreases binding affinity site A has for Zn<sup>2+</sup> making export to the periplasm possible. After Zn<sup>2+</sup> is exported and site A is either empty or bound to H<sup>+</sup> change back to the inward-facing conformation is favored. | Conformation changes occur in the TMD and CTD, both of which are heavily influenced by the presence of Zn<sup>2+</sup>.

In contrast the main purpose of conformation change in the CTD is to stabilize the YiiP dimer and to act as a Zn<sup>2+</sup> sensor. This is possible because of the flexible loop that links the TMD and the CTD. This loop harbors the charge interlock which serves as a hinge that allows movement of the CTD. Using [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%B6rster_resonance_energy_transfer FRET] to measure the distance between the CTD of each monomer fluorescence quenching was observed as the concentration Zn<sup>2+</sup> increased, which supports that idea that Zn<sup>2+</sup> induces a stabilizing conformation change in the CTD.<ref>PMID:19749753</ref> | In contrast the main purpose of conformation change in the CTD is to stabilize the YiiP dimer and to act as a Zn<sup>2+</sup> sensor.
