Influenza A virus (IAV) is the sole cause of the unpredictable influenza pandemics and
deadly zoonotic outbreaks and constitutes at least half of the cause of regular annual …

Lipid enveloped viruses contain a lipid bilayer coat that protects their genome to help
facilitate entry into the new host cell. This lipid bilayer comes from the host cell which they …

H7N9, a novel strain of avian origin influenza was the first recorded incidence where a
human was transited by a N9 type influenza virus. Effective vaccination against influenza A …

The matrix protein M1 plays a pivotal role in the budding of influenza virus from the plasma
membrane (PM) of infected cells. This protein interacts with viral genetic material and …

The rampant spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N6) virus has drawn
additional concerns along with ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Due to its migration-related …

Influenza A virus matrix protein M1 is involved in multiple stages of the viral infectious cycle.
Despite its functional importance, our present understanding of this essential viral protein is …

Influenza A virus, a member of the Orthomyxoviridae family of enveloped viruses, is one of
the human and animal top killers, and its structure and components are therefore extensively …

The influenza A virus M1 and M2 proteins play important roles in virus assembly and in the
morphology of virus particles. Mutations in the distal cytoplasmic tail region of M2, and in …

Influenza A virus matrix protein M1 plays an essential role in the virus lifecycle, but its
functional and structural properties are not entirely defined. Here we employed small-angle …

Influenza virus is taken up from a pH-neutral extracellular milieu into an endosome, whose
contents then acidify, causing changes in the viral matrix protein (M1) that coats the inner …
