HIV resistance emerging against antiretroviral drugs represents a great threat to the continued prolongation of the lifespans of HIV-infected patients. Therefore, methods capable of predicting resistance susceptibility in the development of compounds...
BACKGROUND: Drug resistance in HIV treatment is still a worldwide problem. Predicting resistance to antiretrovirals (ARVs) before starting any treatment is important. Prediction accuracy is essential, as low-accuracy predictions increase the risk of ...

The high variability of HIV-1 as well as the lack of efficient repair mechanisms during the stages of viral replication, contribute to the rapid emergence of HIV-1 strains resistant to antiretroviral drugs. The selective pressure exerted by the drug ...
Resistance to antiretroviral drugs has been a major obstacle for long-lasting treatment of HIV-infected patients. The development of models to predict drug resistance is recognized as useful for helping the decision of the best therapy for each HIV+ ...
The virally-encoded HIV-1 protease is an effective target for antiviral drugs, however, treatment for HIV infections is limited by the prevalence of drug resistant viral mutants. In this review, we describe our three-pronged approach to analyze and c...
BACKGROUND: Resistance to antiretroviral drugs is a complex and evolving area with relevant implications in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Several rules, algorithms and full-fledged computer programs have been develope...
