Molecular Dynamics Studies on HIV-1 Protease: Drug Resistance and Folding Pathways [PDF]
Drug resistance to HIV-1 Protease involves accumulation of multiple mutations in the protein. Here we investigate the role of these mutations by using molecular dynamics simulations which exploit the influence of the native-state topology in the folding ...

Töltéssel rendelkező oldalláncok szerepe retrovirális proteinázok szubsztrát-specificitásában = Role of the charged residues on the substrate specificity of retroviral proteinases [PDF]
A HIV-1 életciklusában betöltött szerepe miatt terápiás (AIDS) célponttá vált retrovirális proteáz (PR) vizsgálatával betekintést nyerhetünk az enzim inhibitorokkal szembeni rezisztencia kialakulásának molekuláris mechanizmusáról.

Drug-Drug Interactions Among Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Medications [PDF]
One-fourth of individuals diagnosed with the human immunodeficiency virus concomitantly have the hepatitis C virus infection. Since the discovery of highly active antiretroviral therapy, liver complications have become the leading cause of morbidity and ...

Background HIV protease (PR) is a virus-encoded aspartic protease that is essential for viral replication and infectivity. The fully active and mature dimeric protease is released from the Gag-Pol polyprotein as a result of precursor autoprocessing ...

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.

Proteochemometric modeling of HIV protease susceptibility
Background A major obstacle in treatment of HIV is the ability of the virus to mutate rapidly into drug-resistant variants. A method for predicting the susceptibility of mutated HIV strains to antiviral agents would provide substantial clinical benefit ...

Modulation of the LDL receptor and LRP levels by HIV protease inhibitors
Inhibitors of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 protease have proven to be effective antiretroviral drugs. However, patients receiving these drugs develop serious metabolic abnormalities, including hypercholesterolemia.

Minor mutations in HIV protease at baseline and appearance of primary mutation 90M in patients for whom their first protease-inhibitor ntiretroviral regimens failed [PDF]
The association between minor mutations in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease at baseline and development of common primary mutation 90M at virological failure (conferring some resistance to all protease inhibitors [PIs]) was evaluated in 93
