Targeting influenza at the topologically conserved substructures

ABSTRACT H9N2 avian influenza virus is a low pathogenic endemic strain in the domestic poultry of most of the Asian countries. Attempts have extensively failed in eradicating its diverse strains. To find the drug against the evolutionarily conserved substructures, the target protein sequence is analyzed through sequence and modelled structure for mapping the structurally conserved topology. The available drugs are screened against the deciphered topological map through the predicted ADMET and drug-likelihood scores. This study helps to build a theoretical framework to make the foremost potent drug.
