Abstract excerpt
In order to clarify the effect of amino acid substitutions on the structure and function of the neuraminidase (NA) protein of influenza A virus, we introduced single-point amino acid substitutions into the NA protein of the A/Tokyo/3/67 (H2N2) strain using PCR-based random mutation. The rate of tolerant random one amino acid substitutions in the NA protein was 47%. Rates of tolerant substitutions for the stalk...
