Abstract
Darunavir, a potent antiviral drug, showed an unusual second binding site on the HIV-1 protease dimer surface of the V32I drug resistant mutant and normal binding in the active site cavity. Kinetic analysis for wild type and mutant protease showed mixed-type competitive-uncompetitive inhibition for darunavir and the chemically related amprenavir, while saquinavir showed competitive inhibition. The inhibition model is consistent with the observed second binding site for darunavir and helps to explain its antiviral potency.Entities:
