β¦ Synopsis
Pseudoprolines (YPro) have been introduced recently as synthetic proline analogues readily obtained by cyclocondensation of the amino acids cysteine, threonine, or serine with aldehydes or ketones. [1] Their application as structure-disrupting, solubilizing protecting groups in solid-phase peptide synthesis [2,3] was followed by conformational investigations concerning the YPro preceding peptide bond. [4,5] In fact, the propensity of the amino acid proline for forming a Xaa iΓ1 -Pro

## Abstract Assessment of HIV tropism using bioinformatic tools based on V3 sequences correlates poorly with results provided by phenotypic tropism assays, particularly for recognizing X4 viruses. This may represent an obstacle for the use of CCR5 antagonists. An algorithm combining several bioinfo

## Abstract The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase (HIVβ1 RT) is a heterodimeric enzyme composed of p66 and p51 subunits. Earlier, we showed that the Ξ²7βΞ²8 loop of p51 is crucial for polymerase activity of HIVβ1 RT as either deletion or Ala substitution of amino acids in the
