Abstract excerpt
HIV protease, an essential enzyme for viral particle maturation, is an important drug target of HIV. Its structural conformation is a key determinant of both biological function as well as efficient binding of protease inhibitor molecules. In the present study we analyzed 471 crystal structures of HIV-1 protease to understand the conformational changes induced by mutations or binding of various ligands and...
