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

HIV Protease: Historical Perspective and Current Research
The retroviral protease of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is an excellent target for antiviral inhibitors for treating HIV/AIDS. Despite the efficacy of therapy, current efforts to control the disease are undermined by the growing threat posed by ...

A folding inhibitor of the HIV-1 Protease [PDF]
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 ...

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 ...

Patients with discordant responses to antiretroviral therapy have impaired killing of HIV-infected T cells. [PDF]
In medicine, understanding the pathophysiologic basis of exceptional circumstances has led to an enhanced understanding of biology. We have studied the circumstance of HIV-infected patients in whom antiretroviral therapy results in immunologic benefit ...

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.

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 ...

Ultra-fast analysis of plasma and intracellular levels of HIV protease inhibitors in children: a clinical application of MALDI mass spectrometry. [PDF]
HIV protease inhibitors must penetrate into cells to exert their action. Differences in the intracellular pharmacokinetics of these drugs may explain why some patients fail on therapy or suffer from drug toxicity.

Rapid enzymatic test for phenotypic HIV protease drug resistance [PDF]
A phenotypic resistance test based on recombinant expression of the active HIV protease in E. coli from patient blood samples was developed. The protease is purified in a rapid onestep procedure as active enzyme and tested for inhibition by five selected
