Abstract

Interfacial peptides of HIV-1 protease were crosslinked with varying length alkyl-chains containing either a single cis or trans double bond, or a triple bond to remove degrees of freedom within the tethers. The synthesis of these compounds and their effects on the activity of HIV-1 protease are described.
