Comparative analysis of the unbinding pathways of antiviral drug Indinavir from HIV and HTLV1 proteases by supervised molecular dynamics simulation.

Determining the unbinding pathways of potential small molecule compounds from their target proteins is of great significance for designing efficacious treatment solutions. One of these potential compounds is the approved HIV-1 protease inhibitor, Indinavir, which has a weak effect on the HTLV-1 prot...
