摘要: The structure of unliganded HIV-1 reverse transcriptase has been determined at 2.35 A resolution and refined to an R-factor 0.219 (for all data) with good stereochemistry. was produced by soaking out a weak binding non-nucleoside inhibitor, HEPT, from pregrown crystals. Comparison the structures four different RT inhibitor complexes reveals that only minor domain rearrangements occur, but there is significant repositioning three-stranded beta-sheet in p66 subunit (containing catalytic aspartic acid residues 110, 185 186) respect rest polymerase site. This suggests NNIs inhibit locking active site inactive conformation, reminiscent conformation observed p51 subunit.
