摘要
A novel way to inhibit HIV-1 protease by destabilizing its native state is discussed. A simplified protein model is used together with Monte Carlo simulations, to assess the destabilizing effect of peptides displaying the same sequence as specific fragments of the protein which are essential for its stability. Model calculations also show that it is unlikely that the protein can escape the inhibitory peptide by point mutations.
