G-quadruplexes and G-quadruplex ligands: targets and tools in antiviral therapy [PDF]
G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical nucleic acids secondary structures that form within guanine-rich strands of regulatory genomic regions. G4s have been extensively described in the human genome, especially in telomeres and oncogene promoters; in ...

Selectivity of kinases on the activation of tenofovir, an anti-HIV agent
Nucleoside analogues, used in HIV-therapy, need to be phosphorylated by cellular enzymes in order to become potential substrates for HIV reverse transcriptase. After incorporation into the viral DNA chain, because of lacking of their 3'-hydroxyl groups, they stop the elongation process and lead to the death of the virus. Phosphorylation of the HIV-drug

Clinical use of anti-HIV agents
現在の抗HIV療法は,カクテル療法と言われるように3剤以上の多剤併用で行うことが基本である.国内で承認されている抗HIV薬は,その作用機序から,逆転写酵素阻害薬とプロテアーゼ阻害薬に分類され,逆転写酵素阻害薬は更に,核酸系と非核酸系とに分かれる.一般的には,非核酸系逆転写酵素阻害薬か,または,プロテアーゼ阻害薬をキードラッグとして,それに,2剤の核酸系逆転写酵素阻害薬を組み合わせて投与する.それぞれの薬剤の作用機序,特性,副作用を認識し,相互作用を考慮しつつ,組み合わせて投与することとなる.副作用は,同じ作用機序の薬剤に一般的に見られるものと,薬剤特異的なものがあり,注意が必要である.既に承認されている抗HIV薬の組み合わせのみではコントロール不良な多剤耐性HIVを持つ症例もあり ...

A dynamic theory of fidelity networks with an application to the spread of HIV/AIDS [PDF]
We study the dynamic stability of fidelity networks, which are networks that form in a mating economy of agents of two types (say men and women), where each agent desires direct links with opposite type agents, while engaging in multiple partnerships is ...
