1. Tertiary structures of HIV-1 protease and chemical formulas of HIV protease inhibitors.
Tertiary structures of HIV-1 protease and chemical formulas of HIV protease inhibitors. (A) HIV-1 protease dimer complexed with lopinavir (PDB accession number 2Q5K). The side view (left) and top view (right) of structures are presented. (B to K) Chemical formulas of nelfinavir, saquinavir, indinavir, atazanavir, lopinavir, ritonavir, fosamprenavir, amprenavir, darunavir, and tipranavir in the group of protease inhibitors. (L) Chemical formula of cobicistat. Cobicistat is a pharmacoenhancer used with HIV protease inhibitors, but cobicistat alone shows no antiviral activity.
