description The purpose of the study was to compare molecular characteristics of genes and proteins of pandemic influenza strains and find features of the 1918 Spanish influenza virus. Computer analysis has shown that the genes of the Spanish influenza virus in contrast to other pandemic strains contain optimal quantity of long complementary sequences that allow to obtain a supramolecular assembly of 8 virus RNA in according to a model ensuring selective packing of one copy of each virus RNA by the only possible scheme and high transmission to induce infection by single virions. Other pandemic strains contain redundant or insufficient quantity of complementary sequences that allow an assembly of its genome by means of some models including a stochastic one and occurrence of virions with incomplete genome, that is influenza virusts can exist primarily as a swarm of complementation-dependent semi-infectious virions. Analysis of an HA gene of the Spanish influenza virus found out exclusion from its translation code four triplets (CGG, CGA, CGC и CGU) coding arginine. This exclusion is observed in all the HlNl strains isolated during 100 years. Coding arginine in an HA gene of HlNl strains is provided by only triplets AGG and AGA.
