Abstract excerpt
The structural and functional role of conserved residue G86 in HIV-1 protease (PR) was investigated by NMR and crystallographic analyses of substitution mutations of glycine to alanine and serine (PR(G86A) and PR(G86S)). While PR(G86S) had undetectable catalytic activity, PR(G86A) exhibited approximately 6000-fold lower catalytic activity than PR. (1)H-(15)N NMR correlation spectra revealed that PR(G86A) and...
