Abstract excerpt
PB1 functions as the catalytic subunit of influenza virus RNA polymerase complex and plays an essential role in viral RNA transcription and replication. To determine plasticity in the PB1 enzymatic site and map catalytically important residues, 658 mutants were constructed, each with one to seven mutations in the enzymatic site of PB1. The polymerase activities of these mutants were quantified using a minigenome...
