Dynamozones are the most obvious sign of the evolution of conformational dynamics in HIV-1 protease

Scientific Reports, 2023
Proteins are not static but are flexible molecules that can adopt many different conformations. The HIV-1 protease is an important target for the development of therapies to treat AIDS, due to its critical role in the viral life cycle.

Role of Gag in HIV Resistance to Protease Inhibitors

Viruses, 2010
Cleavage of Gag and Gag-Pol precursors by the viral protease is an essential step in the replication cycle of HIV. Protease inhibitors, which compete with natural cleavage sites, strongly impair viral infectivity and have proven to be highly valuable in ...

High-affinity RNA Aptamers Against the HIV-1 Protease Inhibit Both In Vitro Protease Activity and Late Events of Viral Replication

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2015
HIV-1 aspartyl protease (PR) plays a key role in virion morphogenesis, underscoring the effectiveness of protease inhibitors (PI). Despite their utility, side effects and drug-resistance remains a problem.

HIV-1 protease inhibitor mutations affect the development of HIV-1 resistance to the maturation inhibitor bevirimat

Retrovirology, 2011
Background Maturation inhibitors are an experimental class of antiretrovirals that inhibit Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) particle maturation, the structural rearrangement required to form infectious virus particles.

CD8+ T lymphocyte responses target functionally important regions of Protease and Integrase in HIV-1 infected subjects

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2004
Background CD8+ T cell responses are known to be important to the control of HIV-1 infection. While responses to reverse transcriptase and most structural and accessory proteins have been extensively studied, CD8 T cell responses specifically directed to
