===Technical Information===


*The <scene name='Avian_Influenza_Neuraminidase,_Tamiflu_and_Relenza/2hu4_monomer/2'>substrate binding site</scene> involves only a single protein chain, being distant from neighboring chains.

*<scene name='User:Eric_Martz/Sandbox_8/Water/3'>partial charges</scene> (using &delta; in the label, it gets corrupted)


*The <scene name='Avian_Influenza_Neuraminidase,_Tamiflu_and_Relenza/2hu4_monomer_sec_struct/1'>secondary structure</scene> is mostly beta, consisting of several beta sheets with three short alpha helices ({{Template:ColorKey_Strand}}, {{Template:ColorKey_Helix}}).

# IGNORES WATER UNCONDITIONALLY! We must us MOLECULAR!

# Higher values of resolution make a choppier surface that rotates
# more jerkily. 6 is good.


*These highly conserved residues include some known to be crucial to binding sialic acid substrate: Arg 118, Arg 292 and Arg 371 bind the carboxylate; Arg 152 interacts with the acetamido substituent; and Glu 276 forms hydrogen bonds with the 8- and 9-hydroxyl groups of the substrate. These residues are <scene name='Avian_Influenza_Neuraminidase,_Tamiflu_and_Relenza/2hu4_monomer_activesite/1'>highlighted here</scene> in contact with the sialic acid substrate analog Tamiflu. In this scene, atoms and bonds in Tamiflu and the highlighted residues are colored by element: {{Template:ColorKey_Element_C}}, {{Template:ColorKey_Element_O}}, {{Template:ColorKey_Element_N}}.
