Abstract: In this paper we present a complete thermodynamic dissection of the differences between
proteases from different subtypes and the effects of the
V82F/
I84V drug-resistant mutation within the framework of the B, C, and A subtypes.
Abstract: Relative to the wild-type B subtype
protease, the
V82F/
I84V drug-resistant mutation within the C and A subtypes lowers the binding affinity of inhibitors by factors ranging between 40 and 3000.
