Neuraminidases are enzymes that cleave sialic acid groups from glycoproteins and are required for influenza virus replication. When influenza virus replicates, it attaches to the interior cell surface using hemagglutinin, a molecule found on the surface of the virus that binds to sialic acid groups.
