Abstract excerpt
The reassortant influenza viruses, A/NWS-G70c with N9 neuraminidase (NA) and B/HK/8/73 (HG) with B/Lee/40 NA, were selected for resistance to 4-guanidino-Neu5Ac2en (4-GuDANA) by passaging the virus in stepwise increases in the concentration of 4-GuDANA. In the NA of resistant viruses, the absolutely conserved Glu 119, which lies in a pocket beneath the active site of the enzyme and interacts with the guanidinium...
