Product Description
HIV-1 protease is a retroviral aspartyl protease (retropepsin) that is essential for the life-cycle of HIV. HIV protease cleaves newly synthesized viral polyproteins at the appropriate places into functional protein products as mature protein components of an infectious HIV virion. The mutation of HIV protease's active site or inhibition of its activity disrupts HIVs ability to replicate and infect additional cells.
