Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 protease (PR) enzyme is a viable antiretroviral drug target due to its crucial role in HIV maturation. Over many decades, the HIV-1 PR enzyme has exhibited mutations brought on by drug pressure and error-prone nature of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. Non-active site mutations have played a pivotal role in drug resistance; however, their mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated. We investigated how...
