Abstract excerpt
Under selective drug pressure, the structure and dynamics of HIV-1 protease (PR) evolve to confer resistance to the drug. Here, we report on the conformational changes in PR flaps for drug-resistance mutations using 19F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. We prepared wild-type (wt) PR and its three mutant variants containing 4, 10, or 11 mutations, namely 4Mut, 10Mut, and 11Mut, that were previously...
