Discussion: M36I is a common nonsubtype B polymorphism in the absence of drug pressure and also has a higher replication capacity than subtype B wild type virus.
Discussion: In this study, polymorphisms in the CRF01_AE protease gene were common, with the M36I polymorphism being the most frequent.
Discussion: Interestingly, R41K and H69K have not previously been reported to be associated with any currently available protease inhibitors, and the predicted HLA binding affinities at the epitope located at amino acid positions 34-42 decreases 19-40 fold when E35D, M36I and R41K are present.
Discussion: Of the polymorphisms identified, I13 V

Comparison of protease inhibitor (PI) resistance-associated mutations between PI-naive and PI-experienced HIV-1 infected patients in Thailand where subtype A/E is predominant.
Abstract: More specifically, K22H viruses harbored significantly more G16E and M36I in protease than in those isolated from pretreated patients harboring WT K22 viruses.

Result: As shown in Table III, the PI resistance-associated specific mutations with the highest degree of expression for 2005 were L63P (73.6%), M36I (26.2%), and L90M (21.0%).

Abstract: In untreated patients, mutations L10V, K20R, and M36I were more frequent in subtype F1, while L63P, A71T, and V77I were more prevalent in subtype B.
Method: In the quantitative analysis, L63P and M36I were not counted as minor mutations for subtypes B and F1, respectively, as they represent frequent polymorphisms found in those respective subtypes.
