Tamiflu is shown as thick sticks.
H274Y ([[Amino Acids#Histidine|Histidine]] to [[Amino Acids#Tyrosine|Tyrosine]]) is the most common mutation conferring resistance to the drug Tamiflu in the neuraminidase N1 of Influenza A (e.g. H1N1, H5N1). Although resistant, this mutant N1 still binds Tamiflu weakly, and a crystal structure was obtained, [[3ckz]]. Below, this is compared to the wild type, [[2hu4]]], using structural alignment of a single protein chain:Tamiflu complex from each.

Tamiflu is shown as thick sticks. Atoms contacting Tamiflu (4 &Aring;) are shown as balls. Amino acids that contain contacting atoms, plus amino acid 274, are shown as thin sticks. All other amino acids are hidden.
