Design of Artificial C-Peptides as Potential Anti-HIV-1 Inhibitors Based on 6-HB Formation Mechanism
1 Jun 2024
Abstract excerpt
Background: The six-helix bundle (6-HB) is a core structure formed during the membrane fusion process of viruses with the Class I envelope proteins. Peptide inhibitors, including the marketed Enfuvirtide, blocking the membrane fusion to exert inhibitory activity were designed based on the heptads repeat interactions in 6-HB. However, the drawbacks of Enfuvirtide, such as drug resistance and short half-life in...
