Abstract
In recent years, the number of useful chemical biology information of protein-protein interactions in the HIV life cycle and related inhibitors, is growing rapidly, which makes protein-protein interactions a new investigative area for antiviral drug intervention. This review will summarize recent work in this field, mainly focusing on the utilization of small molecules targeted against a variety of protein-protein interactions that have great therapeutic feasibility for HIV infection, and lastly outline some other important protein-protein interactions with a potential to advance into novel anti- HIV drug targets in future.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
