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.

Impact of HIV-1 subtype and antiretroviral therapy on protease and reverse transcriptase genotype: Results of a global collaboration [PDF]
Background The genetic differences among HIV-1 subtypes may be critical to clinical management and drug resistance surveillance as antiretroviral treatment is expanded to regions of the world where diverse non-subtype-B viruses predominate.Methods and ...

In silico prediction of mutant HIV-1 proteases cleaving a target sequence.
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

Structural investigation of HIV-1 GP160 and gag-pol polyprotein recognition site with HIV-1 protease [PDF]
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is an infectious virus that if left untreated can progress into AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) and is a devastating and lethal disease with millions of related fatalities across the globe since its discovery.

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 ...

Genetic basis of hypersusceptibility to protease inhibitors and low replicative capacity of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 strains in primary infection [PDF]
The initial virus strains from as many as 12% of individuals with primary human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have a 50% inhibitory concentration less than or equal to0.4-fold that of HIV type 1(NL4-3) (HIV-1(NL4-3)) to ritonavir ...

Molecular monitoring of HIV-1 drug resistance in Ifakara HIV-1 Cohort, Tanzania [PDF]
HIV-1 resistance is one of the problems affecting success of antiretroviral therapy programmes worldwide. Many studies on efficacy of ART programmes, specifically on drug resistance, have been conducted in developed countries but not in developing ...

Background Little is known about the detailed phylogeny relationships of CRF 02_AG HIV-1 polymerase genes in Ghana. The use of the protease gene of HIV-1 for subtyping has shown conflicting results. Methods The partial polymerase gene sequences of 25 HIV-

Adaptive inhibitors of the HIV-1 protease
A significant obstacle to the efficacy of drugs directed against viral targets is the presence of amino acid polymorphisms in the targeted molecules. Amino acid polymorphisms may occur naturally due to the existence of variations within and between viral strains or as the result of mutations associated with drug resistance.
