VX-950 protein-ligand binding. (a) Surface representation of the NS3-4A protease binding pocket (PDB entry 1RTL) with the docked VX-950 compound. VX-950 is covalently bound to S139. The cyclopropyl group is oriented towards a hydrophobic cavity. The surface of the protein was colored with the vacuum electrostatics function of PyMOL. Charges are computed with the Amber 99 force field and projected on the protein surface, whereas colored patches (red = positive, blue = negative) denote polar regions and white patches apolar protein regions. (b) MOE plot for interactions of the protease with the VX-950 compound. The legend is at the bottom.
