Abstract
To understand the binding of both viral and human DNA to HIV-1 integrase, fully flexible dinucleotides were docked onto the core domain of integrase. AutoDocking did identify sites on integrase where favorable interactions with nucleotides can occur, and those sites were in agreement with recently published protein fingerprinting data. By analyzing the phosphates of the docked dinucleotides, we developed a model indicating where the viral cDNA and human DNA bind to the integrase core domain.Keywords
