Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) is an important target for drugs used in the treatment of AIDS. Drugs known as non-nucleoside RT inhibitors (NNRTI) appear to alter the structural and dynamical properties of RT which in turn inhibit RT's ability to transcribe. Molecular dynamics (MD), principal component analysis (PCA), and binding free energy simulations are employed to explore the dynamics of RT and its...
