Influenza Virus




Answer: b- Oseltamivir.

Oseltamivir is competitive inhibitor of viral neuraminidase enzyme. This enzyme cleaves sialic acid present on the glycoproteins which are present on the surface of the human cells which helps in the release of new virions from the cells. Oseltamivir prevents the release of virions by acting on enzyme neuraminidase.
