Abstract excerpt
The enzymatic activities of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT) are strictly correlated with the dimeric forms of this vital retroviral enzyme. Accordingly, the development of inhibitors targeting the dimerization of RT represents a promising alternative antiviral strategy. Based on mutational studies, we applied a structure-based ligand design approach generating pharmacophoric...
