Exploration of the Structural Asymmetry Induced by the Intrinsic Flexibility of HIV-2 Protease
HIV-2 protease (PR2) is a homodimer targeted by drugs in the treatment of HIV-2 infections. This dimer is often considered symmetric. However, exploration of crystallographic structures showed that the two chains of PR2 exhibit different conformations. This study presents the first analysis of the s...
