Influenza virus attaches to host membrane
ID Number
2425
Description
Influenza A infects a host cell when hemagglutinin grips onto glycans on its surface. Neuraminidase, an enzyme that chews sugars, helps newly made virus particles detach so they can infect other cells.
Featured in the March 2006, issue of Findings in "Viral Voyages."
