Molecular design, functional characterization and structural basis of a protein inhibitor against the HIV-1 pathogenicity factor Nef.

Increased spread of HIV-1 and rapid emergence of drug resistance warrants development of novel antiviral strategies. Nef, a critical viral pathogenicity factor that interacts with host cell factors but lacks enzymatic activity, is not targeted by current antiviral measures. Here we inhibit Nef funct...
