Supercharged Assembly: A Broad-Spectrum Mechanism of Action for Drugs that Undermine Controlled HIV-1 Viral Capsid Formation
A. J. Pak, J. M. A. Grime, A. Yu, G. A. Voth
This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to show how capsid inhibitors disrupt HIV-1 capsid assembly, leading to structural defects and disassembly, and highlights the importance of dynamic mechanisms in drug design.
