Abstract excerpt
Drug resistance in antiviral treatments is a serious public health problem. Viral proteins mutate very fast, giving them a way to escape drugs by lowering drug binding affinity but with compromised function. Human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-1) protease, a critical antiretroviral therapeutic target, represents a model for such viral regulation under inhibition. Drug inhibitors of HIV-1 protease lose...
