Abstract
The capsid (CA) protein is the major structural component of HIV-1 and plays a key role in the regulation of viral life cycle. Inhibition of CA will affect the viral assembly and budding processes, causing decreased viral infectivity. This review describes the structure and function of the HIV-1 CA and latest progress in the discovery of HIV-1 CA inhibitors.

Drugs and Mitochondria
Mitochondria play a central role in the life and death of cells. They are not merely the center for energy metabolism but are also the headquarters for different catabolic and anabolic processes, calcium fluxes, and various signaling pathways. Mitochondria maintain homeostasis in the cell by interacting with reactive oxygen-nitrogen species ...read more
Mitochondria as a Therapeutic _target in Metabolic Disorders
Mitochondria are the primary site of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in mammalian cells. Moreover, these organelles are an important source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in virtually any nucleated cell type. The modulation of a myriad of cellular signaling pathways depends on the mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondrial dysfunction is observed ...read more
