No evidence for selection of HIV-1 with enhanced gag-protease or Nef function among breakthrough infections in the CAPRISA 004 tenofovir microbicide trial. [PDF]
Use of antiretroviral-based microbicides for HIV-1 prophylaxis could introduce a transmission barrier that inadvertently facilitates the selection of fitter viral variants among incident infections.

Accessory mutations balance the marginal stability of the HIV-1 protease in drug resistance
The HIV-1 protease is a major target of inhibitor drugs in AIDS therapies. The therapies are impaired by mutations of the HIV-1 protease that can lead to resistance to protease inhibitors.

Analysis of prevalence of HIV-1 drug resistance in primary infections in the United Kingdom [PDF]
Objectives: To identify changes since 1994 in the prevalence of resistance to anti-HIV drugs in primary HIV-1 infections in the United Kingdom. Design: Retrospective and prospective assessment of viruses obtained from people recently infected with HIV.

Prediction and molecular field view of drug resistance in HIV-1 protease mutants
Conquering the mutational drug resistance is a great challenge in anti-HIV drug development and therapy. Quantitatively predicting the mutational drug resistance in molecular level and elucidating the three dimensional structure-resistance relationships ...

In Vivo validation of a bioinformatics based tool to identify reduced replication capacity in HIV-1. [PDF]
Although antiretroviral drug resistance is common in treated HIV infected individuals, it is not a consistent indicator of HIV morbidity and mortality.

Protease Cleavage Leads to Formation of Mature Trimer Interface in HIV-1 Capsid [PDF]
During retrovirus particle maturation, the assembled Gag polyprotein is cleaved by the viral protease into matrix (MA), capsid (CA), and nucleocapsid (NC) proteins.

Characterization of the patterns of drug-resistance mutations in newly diagnosed HIV-1 infected patients naïve to the antiretroviral drugs [PDF]
Background: The transmission of HIV-1 drug-resistant strains in drug naive patients may seriously compromise the efficacy of a first-line antiretroviral treatment.
