Abstract: An X-ray structure (resolution 2.2 A) of mutant HIV-1
protease (
A71V,
V82T,
I84V) complexed with a newly developed peptidomimetic inhibitor with an ethylenamine isostere Boc-Phe-Psi[CH(2)CH(2)NH]-Phe-Glu-Phe-NH(2), denoted as OE, is described and compared with the complex of wild-type HIV-1
protease with the same inhibitor (resolution 2.5 A).
