Abstract

The importance of influenza viruses as worldwide infectious agents is well recognized. Specific mutations and evolution in influenza viruses is difficult to predict. We studied specific mutations in matrix protein 1 (M1) of H5N1 influenza A virus together with properties associated with it using prediction tools developed in Bioinformatics. Changes in hydrophobicity, polarity and secondary structure at the site of mutation were noticed and documented to gain insight towards its infection.
