The work reveals that the propeller-shaped protein is structurally similar to neuraminidase enzymes that other viruses, such as influenza, use to infect host cells. It doesn t have neuraminidase s usual enzymatic activity, however, making it a "dead" neuraminidase. "Our structure now provides a template for structure-based drug design aimed at blocking measles virus entry," the researchers write
