Structural and biochemical basis for development of influenza virus inhibitors targeting the PA endonuclease.

Emerging influenza viruses are a serious threat to human health because of their pandemic potential. A promising target for the development of novel anti-influenza therapeutics is the PA protein, whose endonuclease activity is essential for viral replication. Translation of viral mRNAs by the host r...
