Locations of changed amino acid residues of HA1 and HA2 of pH1N1 virus in Taiwan.

<p><b>A</b>. Globular head of HA1. Site Ca (Red); Site Cb Orange); Site Sa (Green); Site Sb (Blue). <b>B</b>. Stalk region of HA2. <b>C</b>. Early isolate with E374E residue. <b>D.</b> Late isolate with E374K. All the figures were generated and rendered with the use of MacPyMOL (<a href="http://wwwpymolorg" target="_blank">http://wwwpymolorg</a>). Numbers of amino acids represents the order of the amino acid taking out signal peptide (17 amino acids) and then counting the numbers from initial codon.</p
