Flu virus surface protein and drug
Flu virus surface protein and drug. Molecular model of the neuraminidase glycoprotein enzyme found on the surface of the influenza (flu) virus, in complex with the drug oseltamivir. The presence of neuraminidase on the virus surface enables the virus to be released from the host cell. Oseltamivir (marketed as Tamiflu) binds to neuraminidase, inhibiting it and so preventing the virus from being able to infect other cells. It can be taken to prevent infection, or to reduce the symptoms and the duration of the infection

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of the neuraminidase glycoprotein enzyme found on the surface of the influenza (flu) virus. In this artistic illustration, we witness a detailed representation of how this vital protein interacts with the drug oseltamivir, also known as Tamiflu. Neuraminidase plays a crucial role in enabling the flu virus to be released from its host cell. However, when oseltamivir is introduced into the equation, it binds to neuraminidase and effectively inhibits its function. This inhibition prevents further infection by restricting the virus's ability to infect other cells. With a clean white background emphasizing its significance, this image highlights not only the structural complexity but also sheds light on potential treatment options against influenza. Oseltamivir can be taken both as a preventive measure or during an ongoing infection to alleviate symptoms and shorten its duration. The scientific community continues to explore ways to combat viral pathogens like influenza through pharmacological interventions such as neuarminidase inhibitors. This artwork serves as a reminder of our ongoing battle against infectious diseases and provides inspiration for future research in proteomics, virology, and biochemistry.
