Abstract excerpt
A key target in the treatment of HIV-1/AIDS has been the viral protease. Here we first studied in silico the evolution of protease resistance. Primary active site resistance mutations were found to weaken interactions between protease and both inhibitor and substrate P4-P4' residues. We next studied the effects of secondary resistance mutations, often distant from the active site, on protease binding to...
