Abstract: RESULTS: Molecular dynamics simulation was employed to study the interactions between receptor models and
hemagglutinin proteins from H5N1 strains A/Duck/Singapore/3/97, mutated A/Duck/Singapore/3/97 (
Q222L,
G224S,
Q222L/
G224S), A/Thailand/1(KAN-1)/2004, and mutated A/Thailand/1(KAN-1)/2004 (
L129V/
A134V).
Introduction: A Kan-1 derived strain with further
HA mutations
L129V and
A134V is considered a quasi-species which exhibited higher selectivity toward human cell type receptor.
