Comment: Lenacapavir (GS-6207) is a novel long-acting anti-HIV lead that binds to the virus' at a conserved interface between capsid protein monomers [2]. This mechanism disrupts early and late phases of the viral replication cycle [1] [3]. PDB entry 6V2F shows the crystal structure of lenacapavir-bound HIV capsid hexamer. In addition to being included in anti-HIV drug combinations, twice-yearly lenacapavir has already shown promising efficacy, and it is further being proposed as a once-yearly HIV prevention (preexposure prophylaxis; PrEP) candidate.
