Abstract excerpt
To understand the basis of drug resistance of the HIV-1 protease, molecular dynamic (MD) and free energy calculations of the wild-type and three primary resistance mutants, V82F, I84V, and V82F/I84V, of HIV-1 protease complexed with ritonavir were carried out. Analysis of the MD trajectories revealed overall structures of the protein and the hydrogen bonding of the catalytic residues to ritonavir were similar in...
