Result: Comparison of
PRS17/DRV with
PR20/DRV complex, which has
E35D,
M36I,
S37N and
I62V mutations, reveals that the hinge loop conformation of
PR20 in subunit A is similar to
PRS17 except for absence of the
K20R mutation and consequent absence of the ion pair interactions observed between Arg20 and
Asp35 in
PRS17/DRV (Fig 3B).
Result: Comparison of the DRV-bound complexes of
PRS17 and wild type
PR/DRV shows a large conformational change in the hinge loop region (residues 34-42) associated with mutations
E35D
