Abstract excerpt
Non-structural protein 1 (NS1) of influenza A virus is a multifunctional virulence factor and represents a promising anti-influenza target, considering its conserved and druggable structure. As antiviral target, NS1-RNA-binding domain (RBD) remains unexplored, despite its critical role in replication. In this study, we applied a "Map-and-Mutate" strategy to identify and functionally validate highly conserved and...
