a, Superposition of the active sites of N8 after a 30-min soak (dark blue) and a 3-day soak (cyan) with 20 microM oseltamivir. There are small changes in the position of Glu 119 and the inhibitor when the 150-loop closes after the longer soaking time. b, Superposition of the active sites of N8 with bound oseltamivir after the 3-day soak with 20 microM inhibitor (cyan) with N1 soaked for 30 min in 0.5 mM inhibitor (green). In this case, the structures of the two different subtypes of neuraminidase from group-1 are remarkably similar.
