Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) infection is triggered by its envelope (Env) glycoprotein gp120 binding to the host-cell receptor CD4. Although structures of Env/gp120 in the liganded state are known, detailed information about dynamics of the liganded gp120 has remained elusive. Two structural models, the CD4-free gp120 and the gp120-CD4 complex, were subjected to µs-scale multiple-replica molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to probe the effects of CD4 binding on the conformational dynamics, molecular motions, and thermodynamics of gp120. Comparative analyses of MD trajectories in terms of structural deviation and conformational flexibility reveal that CD4 binding effectively suppresses the overall conformational fluctuations of gp120. Despite the largest fluctuation amplitude of the V1/V2 region in both forms of gp120, the presence of CD4 prevents it from approaching the gp120 core. Comparison of the constructed free energy landscapes (FELs) shows that CD4 binding reduces the conformational entropy and conformational diversity while enhancing the stability of gp120. Further comparison of the representative structures extracted from free energy basins/minima of FELs reveals that CD4 binding weakens the reorientation ability of V1/V2 and hence hinders gp120 from transitioning out of the liganded state to the unliganded state. Therefore, locking gp120 conformation via restraining V1/V2 reorientation with small molecules seems to be a promising strategy to control HIV-1 infection. Our computer simulation results support the conformational selection mechanism for CD4 binding to gp120 and facilitate the understanding of HIV-1 immune evasion mechanisms.

Potentiometeric investigation on the complex formation equilibria involving Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) & Zn(II) with ethylenediaamine-N,N,N1,N1-tetraacetic acid and melonic acid have been made in solution at three different temps viz. (150, 350, 450C). Important thermodynamic parameters namely, change in Gibb’s free energy (DG0), change in enthalpy (DH0) and change in entropy (DS0) and stability constant have been determined potentiometrically at ionic strength of 0.1 M (KNO3).

The ligands T.P.A.I.* and T.B.A.I.** have been synthesised and their dissociation constants are 1.738 · 10-10 and 1.412 · 10-8 respectively. The potentiometric studies show that these reagents form 1 : 1 complex with copper(II) and iron(II). The stability constants of copper complex and iron complex with T.P.A.I. are 6.43 and 6.51 respectively and for T.B.A.I. 4.36 and 4.24 respectively. The free energy of complex formation at 25°C are 8.76 Kcal/mole and 8.87 Kcal/mole for Cu (II)-T.P.A.I. and Fe (II)-T.P.A.I. respectively, whereas the free energy of the Cu (II)-T.B.A.I. and Fe(II)-T.B.A.I. are 5.94 Kcal/mole and 5.78 Kcal/mole respectively.
