Many enzymes are vital drug targets in diseases such as cancer and pathogenic infections; however, mutations can drastically disrupt inhibitor binding to confer resistance. Resistance mutations primarily occur at the inhibitor binding site, but accom...
INTRODUCTION: HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) remains a significant challenge in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) due to limited effective Treatment and healthcare resources vary. Using the first widely available HIVDR surveillance data in SSA, we calculated the...

While star drugs like Paxlovid have shown remarkable performance in combating SARS-CoV-2, we still face serious challenges such as viral mutants and resistance. In this study, we employ a computational framework combining molecular dynamics (MD) simu...
Neuraminidase (NA) is an essential enzyme located at the outer layer of the influenza virus and plays a key role in the release of virions from infected cells. The rising incidence of global epidemics has made the urgent need for effective antiviral ...

Predicting the outcome of antiretroviral therapies (ART) for HIV-1 is a pressing clinical challenge, especially when the ART includes drugs with limited effectiveness data. This scarcity of data can arise either due to the introduction of a new drug ...
Drug resistance mutations (DRMs) appear in HIV under treatment pressure. DRMs are commonly transmitted to naive patients. The standard approach to reveal new DRMs is to test for significant frequency differences of mutations between treated and naive...
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a fatal disease caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Although 23 different drugs have been available, the treatment of AIDS remains challenging because the virus mutates very quickly which can le...

Drug resistance threatens many critical therapeutics through mutations in the drug target. The molecular mechanisms by which combinations of mutations, especially those remote from the active site, alter drug binding to confer resistance are poorly u...
BACKGROUND: Drug resistance is a critical problem limiting effective antiviral therapy for HIV/AIDS. Computational techniques for predicting drug resistance profiles from genomic data can accelerate the appropriate choice of therapy. These techniques...
