Abstract: Based on a crystallographically resolved HIV-1 IN/inhibitor complex, the complex structures of the 5CITEP inhibitor with the crystal structure of HIV-1 IN which contains a single metal and double metal were obtained and investigated through ligand-receptor docking studies by means of a molecular docking program called Affinity. The binding pattern predicted by the affinity module reveals that the second metal is of importance during integration, provides a further refinement of the IN/inhibitor binding interaction as a basis for new structure-based design efforts. There exists an obvious difference between the two systems about the interaction energy, the value of the latter is lower than that of the former by about 40 kJ/mol. The patterns of interaction between the ligand and the receptor reduces the two probabilities from the previous four ones.
