Abstract excerpt
Using a shape analysis technique, a Dataset of 79 (19 wild-type and 60 mutated) HIV-1 protease crystal structures was analyzed for the shape changes in their binding pockets. The structures are reported with different bound inhibitors and consist of a variety of mutations. Several 3D-shape descriptors based on the volumetric shape function are calculated, in addition to the electrostatic potential (EP)-based...
