Exploration of binding and inhibition mechanism of a small molecule inhibitor of influenza virus H1N1 hemagglutinin by molecular dynamics simulation

Abstract Influenza viruses are a major public health threat worldwide. The influenza hemagglutinin (HA) plays an essential role in the virus life cycle. Due to the high conservation of the HA stem region, it has become an especially attractive target for inhibitors for therapeutics. In this study, m...
