Supercharged Assembly: A Broad-Spectrum Mechanism of Action for Drugs that Undermine Controlled HIV-1 Viral Capsid Formation
2019-03-01
Abstract excerpt
The early and late stages of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication are orchestrated by the capsid (CA) protein, which self-assembles into a conical protein shell during viral maturation. Small molecule drugs known as capsid inhibitors (CIs) impede the highly-regulated activity of CA. Intriguingly, a few CIs, such as PF-3450074 (PF74) and GS-CA1, exhibit effects at multiple stages of the viral lifecycle at...
