In silico prediction of mutant HIV-1 proteases cleaving a target sequence. [PDF]
HIV-1 protease represents an appealing system for directed enzyme re-design, since it has various different endogenous targets, a relatively simple structure and it is well studied. Recently Chaudhury and Gray (Structure (2009) 17: 1636-1648) published a

Molecular Basis for Drug Resistance in HIV-1 Protease
HIV-1 protease is one of the major antiviral targets in the treatment of patients infected with HIV-1. The nine FDA approved HIV-1 protease inhibitors were developed with extensive use of structure-based drug design, thus the atomic details of how the ...

Infected cell killing by HIV-1 protease promotes NF-kappaB dependent HIV-1 replication. [PDF]
Acute HIV-1 infection of CD4 T cells often results in apoptotic death of infected cells, yet it is unclear what evolutionary advantage this offers to HIV-1.

Drug Reprofiling to Identify Potential HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors
The use of protease inhibitors in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) treatment is limited by adverse effects, including metabolic complications. To address these challenges, efforts are underway in the pursuit of more potent and less toxic HIV-1

Predicting HIV-1 Protease Cleavage Sites With Positive-Unlabeled Learning
Understanding the substrate specificity of HIV-1 protease plays an essential role in the prevention of HIV infection. A variety of computational models have thus been developed to predict substrate sites that are cleaved by HIV-1 protease, but most of ...

Higher Desolvation Energy Reduces Molecular Recognition in Multi-Drug Resistant HIV-1 Protease
Designing HIV-1 protease inhibitors that overcome drug-resistance is still a challenging task. In this study, four clinical isolates of multi-drug resistant HIV-1 proteases that exhibit resistance to all the US FDA-approved HIV-1 protease inhibitors and ...

Mangiferin, an Anti-HIV-1 Agent Targeting Protease and Effective against Resistant Strains
The anti-HIV-1 activity of mangiferin was evaluated. Mangiferin can inhibit HIV-1ⅢB induced syncytium formation at non-cytotoxic concentrations, with a 50% effective concentration (EC50) at 16.90 μM and a therapeutic index (TI) above 140. Mangiferin also
