Abstract excerpt
The flap conformations of two drug-resistant HIV-1 protease constructs were characterized by molecular dynamic (MD) simulations and distance measurements with pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. MD simulations accurately regenerate the experimentally determined distance profiles and provide structural interpretations of the EPR data. The combined analyses show that the average conformation...
