Tamiflu life cycle stay within attachment capsid release envelope proteins plasma membrane host cell uncoating neuraminidase lipids releasing escape When creating antiviral medications against the influenza virus, it is possible to target an aspect of its life cycle. Targeting attachment: Antiviral medicines target either the molecules on the surface of the host cell that the virus identifies with, or proteins that the virus uses to attach to the cell. Targeting uncoating: Antiviral medicines target the enzyme that allows the virus to remove the genetic material from the capsid. Targeting release: Antiviral medicines target the enzyme that interacts with specific molecules in the host cell's membrane to allow the newly formed viruses to escape the host cell. An example of an antiviral drug, called Tamiflu, inhibits a viral enzyme called neuraminidase to prevent the influenza virus from releasing new viruses from the host cell.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) is effective when administered at the early stage of influenza. The antiviral targets which of the following viral components? It is a nucleocapsid (NC) protein inhibitor. It is a neuraminidase (N) protein inhibitor. It is an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) inhibitor. It is a hemagglutinin (H) protein inhibitor.
