Flu virus surface protein and drug F006 / 9745
Flu virus surface protein and drug. Molecular model of the neuraminidase glycoprotein enzyme from on the surface of the influenza A (flu) virus bound to the drug zanamivir. The function of this protein is to enable the virus to be released from the host cell. Zanamivir, marketed as Relenza, is a neuraminidase inhibitor

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of a flu virus surface protein and its interaction with the drug F006/9745, also known as zanamivir. The image depicts a detailed molecular model of the neuraminidase glycoprotein enzyme found on the surface of influenza A (flu) viruses, bound to zanamivir. Neuraminidase is a crucial protein that enables the release of flu viruses from host cells. Zanamivir, marketed as Relenza, acts as a potent inhibitor of this enzyme. Its binding to neuraminidase prevents viral replication and spread within the body. The white background enhances our focus on this remarkable illustration's biological significance in research and medicine. It serves as an invaluable tool for studying infections caused by flu viruses and developing effective drugs against them. With its precise depiction of biochemical structures such as alpha helices and beta sheets, this artwork offers valuable insights into how zanamivir inhibits neuraminidase activity at a molecular level. Such knowledge aids scientists in designing novel therapeutic strategies to combat influenza A infections. This print not only highlights the beauty inherent in microbiological structures but also underscores their critical role in healthcare. As we delve deeper into proteomics and biochemistry, images like these continue to shape our understanding of diseases while inspiring further scientific exploration.
