Abstract excerpt
Influenza virus neuraminidase (NA) plays a pivotal role during viral growth since its sialidase activity allows the efficient release of nascent virions from infected cells. Consequently, mutations in the NA catalytic site affecting sialic acid (SA) cleavage may influence the biological properties of influenza viruses. This study reports two amino acid substitutions (N386K and P431S) in the NA of the influenza...
