Computational studies identifying entry inhibitor scaffolds targeting the Phe43 cavity of HIV-1 gp120.

abstract：:Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) plays crucial functions in multiple stages of mitosis and is considered to be a potential drug target for cancer therapy. The functions of PLK1 are mediated by its N-terminal kinase domain and C-terminal polo-box domain (PBD). Most inhibitors targeting the kinase domain of PLK1 have a selecti...
