HIV-1 protease

by David Canner

The X-ray structure of HIV-1 protease reveals that it is composed of , each consisting of 99 amino acid residues. The subunits come together in such as way as to . This tunnel is of critical importance because the active site of the protease is located in its interior. The active site consists of , making it a member of the aspartyl protease family. The two Asp's are either interact with the incoming water OR protonate the carbonyl to make the carbon more electrophilic for the incoming . (more...)
