Abstrakt: There are several indications that a given compound or a set of related compounds can bind in different modes to a specific binding site of a protein. This is especially evident from X-ray crystallographic structures of ligand-protein complexes. The availability of multiple binding modes of a ligand in a binding site may present an advantage in drug design when simultaneously optimizing several criteria. In the case of the design of anti-HIV compounds we observed that the more active compounds that are also resilient against mutation of the non-nucleoside binding site of HIV i-reverse transcriptase make use of more binding modes than the less active and resilient compounds.
