Conclusion: As for the other
protease inhibitors, the increase of the binding affinity implies that the double mutant
I50L/
A71V may be well adapted by the TMC114.
Conclusion: However, for the double mutant
I50L/
A71V, the increase in the binding affinity can be mainly attributed to the increase in electrostatic and van der Waals energies of residues Leu50 and Leu50' with considerable aid from the other flap residues Gly49', Ile47' and active site residue Ile84.
Conclusion: The double mutant
I50L/
A71V HIV-
pr exhibits different conformation and dynamic behavior to the TMC114 inhibitor, e.g., closer movement of flaps, and flip-flop interaction between the catalytic
