8. The M2 protein functions as a tetramer; hence the His37 tetrad provides four protonation sites. The channel becomes activated when viral exterior pH is lowed to ∼6. At this pH, two protons are always bound to the His37 tetrad (ref 7); it is the binding of the third proton that leads to channel conductance. Hence what we model here is the binding/unbinding of a proton to/from a doubly protonated His37 tetrad. That the doubly protonated His37 tetrad has two equivalent protonation sites serves to double the binding and unbinding rate constants. Here we model the two protonation sites together as an absorbing disk.
