Abstract: A 1.9 A resolution crystal structure was solved for
PRG48T/
L89M bound with saquinavir (
PRG48T/
L89M-SQV) and compared to the crystal structure of PRWT bound with saquinavir (PRWT-SQV).
Abstract: HIV drug resistance continues to emerge; consequently, there is an urgent need to develop next generation antiretroviral therapeutics.1 Here we report on the structural and kinetic effects of an HIV
protease drug resistant variant with the double mutations
Gly48Thr and
Leu89Met (
PRG48T/
L89M), without the stabilizing mutations
Gln7Lys,
Leu33Ile, and
Leu63Ile.
