 AB    We have determined the structures of four complexes of HIV-1 reverse
       transcriptase with non-nucleoside inhibitors, three fully refined at
       high resolution. The highest resolution structure is of the
       RT-nevirapine complex which has an R-factor of 0.186 and a
       root-mean-square bond length deviation of 0.015 A for all data to 2.2 A.
       The structures reveal a common mode of binding for these chemically
       diverse compounds. The common features of binding are largely
       hydrophobic interactions and arise from induced shape complementarity
       achieved by conformational rearrangement of the enzyme and
       conformational/configurational rearrangement of the compounds.
