I just wonder if there were experiments in the FAAH that would find drugs that would zoom in on the HIV proteins and leave the "good" Pol γ (pol gamma) unaffected? This would reduce the toxicity and improve the efficiency of the drugs.

You have the viral target protein and the human protein. You know not to do anything in this region where the two proteins are similar, but rather focus in areas where they're different." |

Hi wojciech_czyz_care,
Thanks for the link. I'll check out the details in that article. It might be helpful for the HIV integrase project. Cheers, Alex Perryman, Ph.D. |
