Abstract excerpt
Spontaneous mutations at numerous sites distant from the active site of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 protease enable resistance to inhibitors while retaining enzymatic activity. As a benchmark for probing the effects of these mutations on the conformational adaptability of this dimeric beta-barrel protein, the folding free-energy surface of a pseudo-wild-type variant, HIV-PR(*), was determined by a...
