Synthetic (p)ppGpp analogue is an inhibitor of stringent response in mycobacteria [PDF]
Bacteria elicit an adaptive response against hostile conditions such as starvation and other kinds of stresses. Their ability to survive such conditions depends, in part, on stringent response pathways.

A folding inhibitor of the HIV-1 Protease
Being the HIV-1 Protease (HIV-1-PR) an essential enzyme in the viral life cycle, its inhibition can control AIDS. The folding of single domain proteins, like each of the monomers forming the HIV-1-PR homodimer, is controlled by local elementary ...
