HIV-1 disease is intellectual weakness which can go in seriousness from a mellow subclinical subjective wastefulness to an extreme twisting ailment. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) taints the cells of the insusceptible framework. Specifically, HIV assaults and pulverizes the T partner lymphocytes, or T-cells, which are essential to the insusceptible framework and invulnerable reaction. Docking enables us to understand the molecular interaction which take place between a ligand and a contrasting protein. The molecular docking can be done by an open source program which is the Auto Dock, It is developed to mimic and foresee how a drug and a ligand of known structure bind. This is used to find the binding energy and the inhibition constant. This information can be used to synthesize drugs for HIV-1. Top Keywords HIV-1, Neem, Auto dock. Top |
