Analysis of the conformations of the HIV-1 protease from a large crystallographic data set
نویسنده
چکیده
The HIV-1 protease performs essential roles in viral maturation by processing specific cleavage sites in the Gag and Gag-Pol precursor polyproteins to release their mature forms. Here the analysis of a large HIV-1 protease data set (containing 552 dimer structures) are reported. These data are related to article entitled "Conformations of the HIV-1 protease: a crystal structure data set analysis" (Palese, 2017) [1].

Human immunodeficiency virus infection / acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is a disease pertained to the human immune system. Given its crucial role in viral replication, HIV-1 protease (HIV-1 PR) is a prime therapeutic target in AIDS therapy. In this regard, the dynamic aspects of ligand-enzyme interactions may indicate an important role of conformational variability in HIV-1 PR in...

HTLV-1 and HIV-1 are two major causes for severe T-cell leukemia disease and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). HTLV-1 protease, a member of aspartic acid protease family, plays important roles in maturation during virus replication cycle. The impairment of these proteases results in uninfectious HTLV-1virions.Similar to HIV-1protease deliberate mutations that confer drug resistance on...

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. Models of the complexes of inhibitors and the HIV protease were refined using nonbonded and H-bonding terms. The refined energy of selected complexes showed that the designed inhib...

Preventing and reducing the spread of HIV (HIV) has always been a concern in medical science. One of the most common ways to control the virus is using enzyme-blocking drugs. In this study, we attempted to predict the biological activity (PKi) of organic urea derivatives in protease inhibitor compounds using molecular modeling using QSAR (Quantitative Structure Activity Relation), which is the ...
