Figure 2: Molecular surfaces of group-1 and group-2 neuraminidases with bound oseltamivir showing the 150-cavity in the group-1 structure that arises because of the distinct conformation of the 150-loop. a, b, N1 (a; green) and N9 (b; yellow) shown in surface representation with the protein main chain shown in 'worm' representation. c, Superposition of the active sites of apo-N1 (green) and N1 complexed with oseltamivir (blue). Part of the electron density map from a low-resolution (5.5 Å) difference Fourier calculated between apo-N1 and oseltamivir-bound N1 data sets is shown in blue to indicate the position of the 150-cavity.
