Caption: Image generated using X-ray crystallography shows binding pocket for the human CPSF30 protein on the influenza A virus NS1 protein (brown), with a fragment of the CPSF30 protein (blue) bound in the pocket. Work published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals this interaction is a target for antiviral drug discovery.
