Improving fold resistance prediction of HIV-1 against protease and reverse transcriptase inhibitors using artificial neural networks.

BMC bioinformatics
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 ...

A machine learning approach for viral genome classification.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Advances in cloning and sequencing technology are yielding a massive number of viral genomes. The classification and annotation of these genomes constitute important assets in the discovery of genomic variability, taxonomic characteristic...

Prediction of HIV-1 protease cleavage site using a combination of sequence, structural, and physicochemical features.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) aspartic protease is an important enzyme owing to its imperative part in viral development and a causative agent of deadliest disease known as acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Dev...

Learning the Relationship between the Primary Structure of HIV Envelope Glycoproteins and Neutralization Activity of Particular Antibodies by Using Artificial Neural Networks.

International journal of molecular sciences
The dependency between the primary structure of HIV envelope glycoproteins (ENV) and the neutralization data for given antibodies is very complicated and depends on a large number of factors, such as the binding affinity of a given antibody for a giv...

Paraconsistents artificial neural networks applied to the study of mutational patterns of the F subtype of the viral strains of HIV-1 to antiretroviral therapy.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias
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 ...

Efavirenz pharmacogenetics in a cohort of Italian patients.

International journal of antimicrobial agents
The pharmacogenetics and pharmacokinetics of efavirenz (EFV) have been widely studied, although data in the Italian population are limited. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CYP2B6 gene have been associated with increased EFV plasma conce...

Use of Dried Plasma Spots for HIV-1 Viral Load Determination and Drug Resistance Genotyping in Mexican Patients.

BioMed research international
Monitoring antiretroviral therapy using measurements of viral load (VL) and the genotyping of resistance mutations is not routinely performed in low- to middle-income countries because of the high costs of the commercial assays that are used. The ana...

Measurement of viral load by the automated Abbott real-time HIV-1 assay using dried blood spots collected and processed in Malawi and Mozambique.

South African medical journal = Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrif vir geneeskunde
BACKGROUND: The use of dried blood spots (DBS) for HIV-1 viral load quantification can greatly improve access to viral monitoring for HIV-infected patients receiving treatment in resource-limited settings.

Ligand-Based Virtual Screening in a Search for Novel Anti-HIV-1 Chemotypes.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
In a search for new anti-HIV-1 chemotypes, we developed a multistep ligand-based virtual screening (VS) protocol combining machine learning (ML) methods with the privileged structures (PS) concept. In its learning step, the VS protocol was based on H...
