Researchers get closer to finding influenza virus Achilles heel
Researchers have created a high-resolution image of a key protein that enables influenza virus to multiply by hijacking the host cell protein production machinery. The researchers behind this achievement - structural biologists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and the joint Unit of Virus Host-Cell Interaction of EMBL, the University Joseph Fourier and National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), in Grenoble, France - say that their work may lead to the production of more effective medicines to combat future influenza pandemics.
