Which food contains sialic acid?
Sialic acid is commonly found in animal-derived foods such as meat, dairy products, and eggs. It is also present in certain types of fish, bird meats, and seafood. Vegan sources of sialic acid include certain seaweeds like kelp and laver.
What is acetylneuraminic acid?
Acetylneuraminic acid is another name for sialic acid, one of a group of amino carbohydrates, which is a component of glycoproteins and mucoproteins.
Influenza virus binds to its host cells through which carbohydrate moiety?
The influenza virus binds to its host cells through a carbohydrate molecule called sialic acid, which is present on the surface of the host cell receptors. The virus recognizes and binds to this sialic acid molecule to initiate the infection process.
What is an asialoglycoprotein?
It helps to break it down:a-sial-o-glyc-o-protein"o" is just a combining phoneme; ignoring those, we're left with a (not) sial (sialic acid, a type of sugar acid that occurs at the end of saccharide (sugar) chains in biological systems) glyc (an oligo (several) saccharide chain) protein (I hope you know what this means).Putting them back together we get "a protein bonded to a chain of several sugars that has had its terminal sialic acid residues removed".

Which part of the H1N1 virus must have changed in order for viruses to start infecting humans cell?
For the H1N1 virus to start infecting human cells, changes in the viral hemagglutinin (HA) protein were crucial. This protein is responsible for binding to sialic acid receptors on the surface of host cells. Mutations in HA allowed the virus to effectively attach to and enter human respiratory cells, facilitating cross-species transmission and infection. Additionally, adaptations in other viral proteins may also contribute to enhanced virulence and transmissibility in humans.
