Abstract excerpt
G protein-coupled receptor CCR5 is the main coreceptor for macrophage-tropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), and various small-molecule CCR5 antagonists are being developed to treat HIV-1 infection. It has been reported that such CCR5 antagonists, including TAK-779, bind to a putative binding pocket formed by transmembrane domains (TMs) 1, 2, 3 and 7 of CCR5, indicating the importance of the...
