T-20 and T-1249 HIV fusion inhibitors' structure and conformation in solution: a molecular dynamics study

Fusion of the HIV envelope with the target cell membrane is a critical step of the HIV entry into the target cell. Several peptides based on the C-region of HIV gp41 have been used in clinical trials as possible HIV fusion inhibitors. Among these are T-1249 and T-20 (also known as enfurvitide). Desp...
