Question
(a) Draw an example of a triglyceride molecule and name the functional group that links the glycerol backbone to the side-chains derived from fatty acids. (b) The structure of a neuraminidase inhibitor is shown in Figure Q6b. This compound renders the influenza virus unable to escape its host cell and so controls further infection. Using your knowledge of amino acids, draw possible binding interactions that all functional groups in the inhibitor (except C7-OH) could make with the neuraminidase enzyme. + H HN.
