Evolved Proteins Inhibit Entry of Enfuvirtide-Resistant HIV‑1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Drugs that block HIV-1 entry are relatively limited. Enfuvirtide is a 36-residue synthetic peptide that targets gp41 and blocks viral fusion. However, Enfuvirtide-resistant HIV has been reported, and this peptide drug requires daily injection. Previously,

An Artificial Peptide-Based Bifunctional HIV-1 Entry Inhibitor That Interferes with Viral Glycoprotein-41 Six-Helix Bundle Formation and Antagonizes CCR5 on the Host Cell Membrane

open access: yesViruses, 2023
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is characterized by high variability and drug resistance. This has necessitated the development of antivirals with a new chemotype and therapy.

gp41 sequence variability in HIV type 1 non-B subtypes infected patients undergoing enfuvirtide pressure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Enfuvirtide is the first of a new class of antiretroviral drugs that inhibits HIV entry. It is a 36 amino acid synthetic peptide that mimics the HR2 region of the HIV-1 gp41, preventing the fusion of viral and cellular membranes.

Targeting Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Spike Fusion Machinery With Antiviral Peptides: In Silico Exploration of the Heptad Repeat 2 Domain

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Griffithsin, Brevinin‐2, and CCL20 were identified as potent MERS‐CoV fusion inhibitor candidates targeting the HR2 domain through integrated molecular docking, MD simulations, and MM/PBSA analyses. These peptides demonstrated superior binding stability and favorable safety profiles compared to the standard inhibitor, supporting their potential as ...

Genetic and Structural Analysis of HIV-1 Rev Responsive Element Related to V38A and T18A Enfuvirtide Resistance Mutations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: For the expression of late viral genes, HIV-1 efficiently exploits the nuclear export by using Rev viral protein, which specifically binds the RNA Rev Responsive Element (RRE). This region is contained within the gp120-gp41 encoding sequence.

Backbone Protecting Groups for Enhanced Peptide and Protein Synthesis

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 33, August 11, 2025.
This review provides a comprehensive account of the use of backbone N‐protecting groups in peptide synthesis. It includes detailed synthetic methods relating to their introduction and removal and their application to “difficult” peptides and proteins of biological significance in both academic and industry contexts.

Putative role of membranes in the HIV fusion inhibitor enfuvirtide mode of action at the molecular level [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Partition of the intrinsically fluorescent HIV fusion inhibitor enfuvirtide into lipidic membranes is relatively high (DeltaG=6.6 kcal (.) mol(-1)) and modulated by cholesterol.
