Molecular dynamics studies of the nucleoprotein of influenza A virus: role of the protein flexibility in RNA binding.

Molecular dynamics studies of the nucleoprotein of influenza A virus: role of the protein flexibility in RNA binding.

The influenza viruses contain a segmented, negative stranded RNA genome. Each RNA segment is covered by multiple copies of the nucleoprotein (NP). X-ray structures have shown that NP contains well-structured domains juxtaposed with regions of missing electron densities corresponding to loops. In thi...
