in influenza. Membrane fusion inhibitors, such as Tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), inhibit viral infectivity by binding to and stabilizing the native HA structure. This research project aims to ...

Variations in the HA and NA genes determine the subtype and strain. It is possible to sequence the entire viral genome of influenza via ... The genome structure introduces complications, however.
