1MUI - PubMed Abstract: 
The crystal structure of ABT-378 (lopinavir), bound to the active site of HIV-1 protease is described. A comparison with crystal structures of ritonavir, A-78791, and BILA-2450 shows some analogous features with previous reported compounds. A cyclic urea unit in the P(2) position of ABT-378 is novel and makes two bidentate hydrogen bonds with Asp 29 of HIV-1 protease. In addition, a previously unreported shift in the Gly 48 carbonyl position is observed. A discussion of the structural features responsible for its high potency against wild-type HIV protease is given along with an analysis of the effect of active site mutations on potency in in vitro assays.
