Induced opening of influenza virus neuraminidase N2 150-loop suggests an important role in inhibitor binding

The recently discovered 150-cavity (formed by loop residues 147–152, N2 numbering) adjacent to the enzymatic active site of group 1 influenza A neuraminidase (NA) has introduced a novel target for the design of next-generation NA inhibitors. However, only group 1 NAs, with the exception of the 2009...
