Abstract
Influenza is a disease that deeply affects millions of people every year. There has not been any drug effective against all strains. Neuraminidase (NA) is the major surface glycoprotein of the influenza virus, which possesses critical enzymatic activity and has been considered as a suitable target for designing agents against influenza viruses. Here we review the structure and functions of this enzyme and touch upon the structureactivity relationship (SAR) of existing influenza neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs).

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
