Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Drug resistance is a severe problem in HIV treatment. HIV protease is a common target for the design of new drugs for treating HIV infection. Previous studies have shown that the crystallographic structures of the HIV-2 protease (PR2) in bound and unbound forms exhibit structural asymmetry that is important for ligand recognition and binding. Here, we investigated the effects of resistance mutations...
