Systemic inflammation and residual viraemia in HIV-positive adults on protease inhibitor monotherapy: a cross-sectional study. [PDF]
Increased levels of markers of systemic inflammation have been associated with serious non-AIDS events even in patients on fully suppressive antiretroviral therapy.

The initial step in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 GagProPol processing can be regulated by reversible oxidation. [PDF]
BackgroundMaturation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) occurs upon activation of HIV-1 protease embedded within GagProPol precursors and cleavage of Gag and GagProPol polyproteins.

Mechanism and Kinetics of HIV-1 Protease Activation
The HIV-1 protease is a critical enzyme for viral replication. Because protease activity is necessary to generate mature infectious virions, it is a primary target of antiretroviral treatment.

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

Developing HIV-1 Protease inhibitors through stereospecific reactions in protein crystals [PDF]
Protease inhibitors are key components in the chemotherapy of HIV infection. However, the appearance of viral mutants routinely compromises their clinical efficacy, creating a constant need for new and more potent inhibitors.

THE DESIGN, MODELING AND EVALUATION OF POTENTIAL HIV PROTEASE INHIBITORS USING BLITZ, AN INTERACTIVE COMPUTER GRAPHICS WORKING TOOL [PDF]
Several nonpeptide small molecules were designed as potential inhibitors of HIV protease and their structures were constructed by computer-aided molecular modeling and docked iwo the active site of HIV protease.
