2009-01-03 Chemical and Engineering News: Science and Technology Concentrates - Protease Flaps Give HIV Drugs The SlipOther teams have surmised that the mutations affect the mobility of two gate-keeping molecular flaps near the active site. To test that idea, Fanuccis team used EPR to measure how the distribution of distances between flaps changes in different drug-resistant HIV-1 proteases. Simmerlings team then built a computer model that jibed with the EPR data and provides a molecular view of how the proteases move around. The mutations alter the flaps flexibility, possibly changing the way the gate engages inhibitors, the team says.

2009-01-01 AIDS Denialist Dies in California :: EDGE BostonThe article did not specify Maggione and rsquo;s cause of death, but it did trace her rise to national prominence as a so-called "AIDS denier" for having challenged the prevalent understanding that AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV.
