Understanding the evolution of drug resistance in HIV-1 protease necessitates a molecular-leveldescription of protein variants and small molecule (drug) interactions. The Structure and Modeling Core willprovide structural information for retroviral proteases and their small molecule complexes as required by thefour Projects. The Core will perform service-oriented structural and computational studies, using proventechniques of x-ray crystallographic analysis, computational docking, and rational drug design. Dr. Goodsellwill direct the structural modeling and docking analysis of mutant enzymes and their complexes, based oncrystal structures and extending analysis to all mutants and potential inhibitors as identified in the individualProjects. Dr. Stout will direct the crystallographic structure determination of retroviral proteases and theircomplexes.
