Abstract

The model of the structural complex of cyclophilin B belonging to the immunophilins family with the HIV-1 subtype A V3 loop presenting the principal neutralizing determinant of the virus gp120 envelope protein as well as determinants of cell tropism and syncytium formation was generated by molecular docking methods. Based on the conformational and energy characteristics of the built complex, computer-aided design of the polypeptide able to block effectively the functionally crucial V3 segments was implemented. Analysis of the results obtained in this study and literature data suggests that the generated molecule represents a promising pharmacological substance, which may be used as the basis structure for realization of the protein engineering projects aimed to develop effective drugs for anti-AIDS therapy.
