Abstract
The human para influenza virus (HPIV) type 3 is an imperative respiratory virus which cause upper and lower respiratory infections. The receptor involved in the viral infection is haem agglutinin neuraminidase. It is of interest to study the interaction of haem agglutinin neuraminidase with zanamavir (4-GU-DANA), a known antiviral drug. We used the PDB structures with PDB IDs 1V2I, 1V3B, 1V3D and 1V3E for studying the interactions with zanamavir. The binding features of zanamavir with 1V2I (1.41kcal/mol) and 1V3E (11.81kcal/mol) having optimal interactions is reported for further consideration.
