Abstract: This mutant protease contains 11 mutations, 10 of which are located outside the active site (L10I/M36I/S37D/M46I/R57K/L63P/A71V/G73S/L90M/I93L) and 1 within the active site (I84V).
Drug resistance mutations and outcome of second-line treatment in patients with first-line protease inhibitor failure on nelfinavir-containing HAART.
Abstract: Accessory mutations were found in the PR gene at the following positions: L63P/V/T/A/I [153/345 (44.3%)], M36I/L [149/345 (43.2%)], L10I/F/V [82/345 (23.8%)], V77I [60/345 (17.4%)], A71V/T [11/345 (3.2%)], K20M/R [10/345 (2.9%)], and V82I [4/345 (1.2%)].

Abstract: In order to characterize the impact of genetic polymorphisms on the susceptibility of subtype C strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 to protease inhibitors (PIs), a subtype B protease that originated from an infectious clone was modified through site-directed mutagenesis to include the amino acid residue signatures of subtype C viruses (I15V, M36I, R41K, H69K, L89 M) with (clone C6) or without (clone C5) an I93L polymorphism present as a molecular signature of the worldwide subtype C protease.
Analysis of the protease sequences of HIV-1 infected individuals after Indinavir monotherapy.
Abstract: More prevalent detected mutations, thought to contribute to antiretroviral resistance, were L63P (42%), L10I (35%), M36I (30%), V82A/T/F (26%).

Abstract: Substitutions characteristic with the subtype B/B' sequences mainly among hemophiliacs included L63P (87%), A71V/T (27%), and V77I (93%) while those that characterized the non-B sequences mainly found among heterosexuals included M36I (69%) and K20R (19%).
High incidence of non-B and recombinant HIV-1 strains in newly diagnosed patients in Galicia, Spain: study of genotypic resistance.
Abstract: In one patient (1.2%) infected with a subtype G strain, resistance-associated mutations in PR (K20I+M36I+M46I+V82I) were detected.
Abstract: Several polymorphisms in RT: D123S, Q174K, D177E, T200A, V245Q, and PR: I13V, K20I, M36I, R41K, H69K, L89M were detected more frequently in non-B and recombinants than in B strains (P<0.01 to P<0.001).
Impact of M36I polymorphism on the interaction of HIV-1 protease with its substrates: insights from molecular dynamics.
Abstract: M36I and A71V, when present as natural polymorphisms, could aid the virus in developing active site mutations to escape inhibitor binding while maintaining catalytic efficiency.
Abstract: Our study shows that the M36I and A71V mutations provide a greater level of inhibitor cross-resistance combined with active site mutation D30N.
Abstract: The double mutants containing a combination of mutations D30N, M36I, and A71V displayed -0.5-fold to +6-fold changes in the K(i) of all inhibitors tested, with ritonavir and nelfinavir most affected.
Abstract: Variants containing M36I or A71V alone did not display a significant change in b
