Abstract

The highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza virus, which is rapidly mutating and becoming increasingly drug-resistant, was investigated by means of structure-activity relationship between NA (neuraminidase) and three inhibitors, i.e., DANA (2,3-didehydro-2-deoxy-N-acetylneuraminic acid), zanamivir, and oseltamivir. A homology model of the H5N1-NA from the highly pathogenic chicken H5N1 A viruses isolated during the 2003-2004 influenza outbreaks in Japan was built based on the crystal structure of N9-NA complexed with DANA (PDB code: 1F8B). It was found that the traditional constituent residues around the active site of NA family are highly conserved in the H5N1-NA. However, a partially lipophilic pocket composed by Ala248 and Thr249 in N9-NA becomes a hydrophilic pocket because the two residues in the H5N1-NA are replaced by hydrophilic residues Ser227 and Asn228, respectively. On the other hand, two hydrophilic residues Asn347 and Asn348 in the N9-NA are replaced by two lipophilic residues Ala323 and Tyr324 in the H5N1-NA, respectively, leading to the formation of a new lipophilic pocket. This kind of subtle variation not only destroys the original lipophilic environment but also changes the complement interaction between the H5N1-NA...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
