Differential Flap Dynamics in Wild-Type and a Drug Resistant Variant of HIV-1 Protease Revealed by Molecular Dynamics and NMR Relaxation
17 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
In the rapidly evolving disease of HIV drug resistance readily emerges, nullifying the effectiveness of therapy. Drug resistance has been extensively studied in HIV-1 protease where resistance occurs when the balance between enzyme inhibition and substrate recognition and turn-over is perturbed to favor catalytic activity. Mutations which confer drug resistance can impact the dynamics and structure of both the...
