HIV-1蛋白酶是治疗艾滋病的重要靶标酶之一. 采用分子动力学模拟, 运用MM-PBSA方法计算了HIV-1蛋白酶与三个抑制剂BE4, BE5和BE6的结合自由能, 结果表明抑制剂P1/ 位置的苄基上双氟原子的不同位置对结合自由能产生不同的影响. 通过能量分解的方法考察了HIV-1蛋白酶的主要残基与三个抑制剂间的相互作用与识别, 结果表明三个抑制剂以相同的作用模式与HIV-1蛋白酶结合, 计算结果与实验结果基本吻合.

HIV-1 protease is an important target of AIDS chemotherapy. Molecular dynamics simulations followed by MM-PBSA analyses were performed to study the binding of inhibitors BE4, BE5 and BE6 to HIV-1 protease. The results show that positioning of the fluorine atoms on the benzyloxy group of P1/ of the inhibitors affects their binding free energies. Inhibitor-residue interactions calculated provide some insights into the mechanisms of enzyme-inhibitor binding. Our results indicate that the three inhibitors bind to HIV-1 protease in a very similar mode. The calculated data agree well with experimental findings.

Key words: HIV-1 protease, MM-PBSA/GBSA, molecular dynamics, binding free energy, inhibitor
