Abstract excerpt
Virulent H5N1 strains of influenza virus often harbor a D92E point mutation in the nonstructural protein NS1. This crucial mutation has been correlated with increased virulence and/or cytokine resistance, but the structural implications of such a change are still unclear. Furthermore, NS1 protein could also be a potential target for the development of novel antiviral agents against H5N1 strains. Therefore, a...
