that the N-terminus were extracellular, while the C-terminus were intracellular. However, if each of the four transmembrane domains went all the way through the plasma membrane, then the two termini would have to be on the same side of the membrane. It was eventually discovered that the second "transmembrane" domain (M2) does not fully traverse the membrane but instead forms a reentrant helix-loop, contributing to the ion-conducting
