The importance of influenza viruses as worldwide infectious agents is well recognized. Specific mutations and evolution in influenza viruses is difficult to predict. We studied specific mutations in matrix protein 1 (M1) of H5N1 influenza A virus together with properties associated with it using prediction tools developed in Bioinformatics. Changes in hydrophobicity, polarity and secondary structure at the site of mutation were noticed and documented to gain insight towards its infection.
流感病毒作为全球感染源的重要性已得到充分认可。流感病毒的特定突变和进化难以预测。我们使用生物信息学开发的预测工具,研究了甲型H5N1流感病毒基质蛋白1(M1)的特定突变及其相关特性。我们注意到并记录了突变位点处疏水性、极性和二级结构的变化,以深入了解其感染机制。
