* 2006 - Tamiflu bound to avian influenza neuraminidase N1, [[2hu4]] has tamiflu bound, while [[2hty]] lacks this ligand. Tamiflu was designed for N2/N9, not N1. Its antiviral activity via N1 is fortunate but surprising. Comparison of these two structures shows that tamiflu pulls N1 loop 147-152 into close contact, a case of "induced fit". Another surprise was a cavity near tamiflu that could serve as a target for designing better anti-avian influenza drugs. | * 2006 - '''Tamiflu bound to avian influenza neuraminidase N1''', [[2hu4]] has tamiflu bound, while [[2hty]] lacks this ligand.
