DESIGN, ACTIVITY AND 2.8 ANGSTROMS CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF A C2 SYMMETRIC INHIBITOR COMPLEXED TO HIV-1 PROTEASE

Overview

A two-fold (C2) symmetric inhibitor of the protease of human, immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) has been designed on the basis of, the three-dimensional symmetry of the enzyme active site. The symmetric, molecule inhibited both protease activity and acute HIV-1 infection in, vitro, was at least 10,000-fold more potent against HIV-1 protease than, against related enzymes, and appeared to be stable to degradative enzymes., The 2.8 angstrom crystal structure of the inhibitor-enzyme complex, demonstrated that the inhibitor binds to the enzyme in a highly symmetric, fashion.
