HIV-1 PROTEASE-INHIBITOR COMPLEX
OverviewOverview
The ability to replace an inhibitor bound to the HIV-1 protease in single, crystals with other potent inhibitors offers the possibility of, investigating a series of protease inhibitors rapidly and conveniently, with the use of X-ray crystallography. This approach affords a fast, turnaround of structural information for iterative rational drug designs, and obviates the need for studying the complex structures by, co-crystallization. The replacement approach has been successfully used, with single crystals of the HIV-1 protease complexed with a weak, inhibitor. The structures of the complexes obtained by the replacement, method are similar to those determined by co-crystallization.
