Figure 3. Stereo-diagram comparing the NNRTI binding sites of wild-type and Tyr181Cys mutant RTs for the following complexes: (a) nevirapine, (b) TNK-651, (c) PETT-2, and (d) efavirenz. The thinner bonds show the main-chain backbone with wild-type RT coloured as dark grey and the mutant RT as light grey. Side-chains and the inhibitors are shown with thicker bonds with wild-type RT coloured brown and mutant RT as green. For clarity the side-chain of 181 and inhibitor are shown in red for wild-type RT and in cyan for the mutant. The broken yellow lines represent hydrogen bonds.
