Exploring the mechanism of zanamivir resistance in a neuraminidase mutant: a molecular dynamics study.

It is critical to understand the molecular basis of the drug resistance of influenza viruses to efficiently treat this infectious disease. Recently, H1N1 strains of influenza A carrying a mutation of Q136K in neuraminidase were found. The new strain showed a strong Zanamivir neutralization effect. I...
